The chemistry program provides the basics for students planning a career in chemistry or a related field. An Associate in Science degree is awarded to those who complete the requirements for the two-year degree.
Chemists often specialize in a subfield of chemistry, such as analytical, organic, inorganic, physical, polymer or biochemistry. More than half of all chemists work in research and development for manufacturing firms and chemical companies. Others work in production and inspection, as marketing or sales representatives, as teachers, or as consultants to private industry and government agencies.
Other areas for which chemistry serves as the basic foundation are pre-medicine, pre-veterinary science, pharmacy, and chemical engineering. Students planning careers as chemists should enjoy science and mathematics, have an inquisitive mind and imagination, and enjoy working with their hands. They also must be able to concentrate on detail and work independently. High school students planning to major in chemistry should study as much science and math as possible. Students should refer to the catalog of the school where they plan to complete their bachelor's degree requirements and modify the following suggested curriculum if necessary.
Career Possibilities: Air Pollution Analyst, Soils Analyst, Water Quality Analyst, Food Chemist, Chemist-any industry, Chemistry Teacher, Crime Laboratory Analyst.
