Associate in Arts and Science Transfer Degree
Chemistry is a fundamental physical science that deals with the nature of materials in humans, animals, plants and the world around us. It also addresses changes that occur in nature. Everything we are or do depends upon chemistry, from our breakfasts to our evening vitamins. A major in chemistry prepares students for a variety of career fields as diverse as medicine,pharmacology, environmental science, engineering, industry, education, ecology, or public service.
The chemistry program provides courses to meet a variety of student needs. For science and engineering majors, up to one year of college transfer course work is available.
Since programs differ at each college, students should consult program outlines published by the college or university to which they intend to transfer. The college recommends that the student identify one or two potential baccalaureate institutions, and then contact qualified program advisors at those institutions as early as possible to obtain specific, course-by-course advice. A BBCC advisor or the office of admissions at the transfer institution can help the student to contact these advisors. While BBCC faculty advisors consult with students to help them plan effectively, the ultimate responsibility to plan rests with the student. The degree does not guarantee that any major requirements will be fulfilled.
