Chemistry, Associate of Science
The Associate of Science degree in Chemistry prepares students for a career in a variety of entry-level positions. Graduates may find employment opportunities in areas such as biotechnology, chemical manufacturing, chemical or medical research, forensics, and pharmaceuticals. The Associate of Science degree in Chemistry is strongly recommended for pre-chiropractic, pre-dental, pre-medical, pre-pharmacy, pre-veterinary, or other professional areas.
The curriculum is designed to provide students with the scientific knowledge and skills necessary to transfer into a baccalaureate program in chemistry. Students are advised to counsel with the college/university of their choice to determine if the courses required by Presentation College are applicable at a transfer institution offering a bachelor's degree in chemistry.
