The chemistry and biochemistry program is
designed to provide the first two years of courses
necessary to obtain a chemistry or biochemistry
baccalaureate degree from a four-year college or
university. In addition to general and organic
chemistry knowledge, students will be trained in
data collection and analysis, and scientific
communication.
Through the laboratory portion of the program,
students will reinforce their understanding and
application of the theory learned in class, develop
laboratory skills and techniques, and formulate
conclusions based on observations. Students are
strongly encouraged to work with an adviser in
course selection as transfer requirements between
four-year institutions may differ.
Program Outcomes
Upon completion of this program a student will be
able to:
• Apply knowledge of general and organic
chemistry to analyze data, draw conclusions,
and solve problems.
• Apply safe practices to execute laboratory
techniques and use appropriate equipment
and instrumentation to carry out
experimental procedures.
(continued)
• Access scientific information using basic
scientific references and literature and
evaluate technical information critically.
• Communicate in an ethical, clear and
organized manner, scientific concepts,
experimental results, and properly cited
reference material.
• Work effectively in groups, as leaders or team
members, to solve problems and interact
productively with a diverse group of peers.
• Apply knowledge of general and organic
chemistry to analyze data, draw conclusions,
and solve problems.
