Chemistry (207)
Associate in Science Degree

The Associate Degree is designed for students intending to transfer to a senior-level institution to complete a Bachelor’s Degree. This flexible program prepares the student for a variety of fields such as Chemistry, Biochemistry, Pharmacy, Medical-related careers, and Laboratory Technology. See Nanofabrication Technology Specialization  for a fifth semester.

NOTE: Courses listed in the first/third semester will be scheduled for the fall; second/fourth semester courses will be scheduled for the spring. The student is encouraged to use the curriculum planner to keep track of courses taken and those still needed. In some cases, one or more courses may be taken in a different order than indicated on the planner. However, individual course prerequisites must be observed.

Notes:


1 Mathematics Electives are: Trigonometry and Functions (MATH 102), Elementary Statistics (MATH 107), Elementary Functions (MATH 108), Calculus and Analytic Geometry III (MATH 223), and Differential Equations (MATH 224).  Students who are prepared may take Calculus I (MATH 221) during the first semester, enroll in Calculus II (MATH 222) during the second semester, and move the Mathematics Elective to the third Semester.  Calculus III (MATH 223) is highly recommended.

2 History or Economics elective recommended. If the student wishes to use Principles of Biology (BIOL120) as their technical elective, the Social Science elective should be moved to the fourth semester and BIOL 120 should be taken in the first semester.

3 Foreign Language or Literature recommended.

Technical Electives are:  Electronic Devices, Circuits, and Measurements (ELEC 161), Principles of Biology (BIOL 120), Calculus and Analytic Geometry III (MATH 223), Differential Equations (MATH 224).
