Completion of the chemistry program prepares students for advanced study leading to careers in government, industry, or secondary-school teaching. The program also partially satisfies the entrance requirements for medical and dental schools. Careers include researcher, educator, laboratory technician, or chemical engineer.

This certificate includes the coursework that will prepare students who intend to transfer with a chemistry or related interdisciplinary major to a four-year institution. This certificate includes the General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry sequences.

To earn a certificate of achievement, students must complete the required courses with a “C” grade or higher. Course requirements are typically available in the day and evening for the General Chemistry sequence. For the Organic Chemistry sequence, CHEM 226 is only offered in fall terms, and CHEM 227 is only offered in spring term.

Students who intend to transfer to a four-year program should consult with a counselor regarding course and program requirements.
