Record details
-
The Associate of Science in chemistry is designed so that students can complete the first two years of a college chemistry degree and then transfer smoothly to a four-year institution.
Our program provides small class sizes, individual attention, and a friendly atmosphere. The labs utilize modern instrumentation comparable to that found in university classrooms.
Note: Chemical engineering majors should refer to the TJC Associate of Science degree plan for Engineering, but substitute CHEM 2423 & CHEM 2425 for ENGR 2301 & ENGR 2302.

To receive the degree, the student must make a minimum grade of “C” in all required math and science courses.
Enrollment in CHEM 1411 requires concurrent enrollment in college algebra or credit for this course with a “C” or better. Students with a weak background in chemistry or math should consider taking introductory Chemistry I (CHEM 1406) prior to enrolling in General Chemistry I (CHEM 1411).
