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.
Program Outcomes (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.
