Chemistry
Associate in Arts (DTA) or Associate of Science (Track 1)
Chemistry is the science which studies matter, its properties and composition, and the laws that govern the formation of matter from the basic elements. The breadth of the subject area is enormous and chemists can be found working on such diverse problems as the development of new plastics and fibers, drug preparation, pollution control, the isolation and identification of plant and insect hormones, medical research, nuclear chemistry, and the analysis of geological materials.
Students may choose to complete either the Associate in Arts (AA) or Associate of Science (AS) Degree requirements. See the Associate in Arts—Direct Transfer Agreement or the Associate of Science-Track 1 Planning Worksheets. Within these guidelines, the following courses are recommended:
