The Associate of Science with an emphasis in Chemistry and Pre-Chemical Engineering provides the general education courses normally taken in the first two years at a four-year college or university, with a major in chemistry or chemical engineering. Study in college chemistry, calculus, and physics will prepare the student for the junior level at four-year universities. Furthermore, it will equip a student with the basic chemistry techniques and technology used in chemistry labs.
