The chemistry major prepares students to transfer to four-year institutions for continued study in the
field of chemistry. The chemistry department is located on the second floor of building
30 with a computer lab located in 30-252 where students can work. The department offers a wide range of chemistry classes designed for allied health students (CHEM 102, 115, 116, 117), general education courses (CHEM 110, 113, 115, SCI 110), and science and engineering majors (CHEM 120, 141, 142, 231, 232, 241, 241L, 242, 242L).
The program outlined below fulfills the lower division requirements recommended by
