The major is for students planning to transfer to baccalaureate majors in chemistry, chemical engineering, and other fields requiring an emphasis on chemistry such as environmental science, forensic science, and oceanography. Students planning to enter medical school could also enter this major and select additional courses in biology. Students completing this degree, although typically transferring to a Bachelor's degree program, may also be employed as Laboratory Technicians or Assistants.\n\nProspective students with inadequate academic preparations should be aware that they may need additional time to acquire the necessary academic background. Prerequisites and corequisites for the required courses must be followed.\n\nGraduates of this program are able to:\n\n* demonstrate an understanding of chemical, physical and mathematical principles as pertaining to the study of matter;\n* compute with proficiency as to be able to obtain correct numerical solutions to chemistry problems;\n* analyze and make reasoned judgments dealing with chemistry problems;\n* develop a chemical knowledge and be able to apply it to other disciplines, such as biology, environmental science, engineering, pharmacy, health sciences, etc.; and\n* demonstrate proficiency in laboratory skills as they pertain to: chemical information, the safe handling, use and disposal of chemicals; synthetic procedures including isolation, purification and structure elucidation of obtained products; stoichiometry and the use of instrumentation; and writing of laboratory notebooks and reports in accordance with current scientific journals styles.\n\nScience, Technology, Engineering \u0026 Mathematics Department\nFounders 110  Phone 968-8305\nCurriculum Code No. 1004"},"ceterms:occupationType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://www.onetcenter.org/taxonomy.html","ceterms:targetNode":"https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/19-2031.00","ceterms:codedNotation":"19-2031.00","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Standard Occupational Classification"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Chemists"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Conduct qualitative and quantitative chemical analyses or experiments in laboratories for quality or process control or to develop new products or knowledge."}},{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://www.onetcenter.org/taxonomy.html","ceterms:targetNode":"https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/19-4031.00","ceterms:codedNotation":"19-4031.00","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Standard Occupational Classification"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Chemical Technicians"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Conduct chemical and physical laboratory tests to assist scientists in making qualitative and quantitative analyses of solids, liquids, and gaseous materials for research and development of new products or processes, quality control, maintenance of environmental standards, and other work involving experimental, theoretical, or practical application of chemistry and related sciences."}},{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://www.onetcenter.org/taxonomy.html","ceterms:targetNode":"https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/51-8091.00","ceterms:codedNotation":"51-8091.00","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Standard Occupational Classification"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Chemical Plant and System Operators"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Control or operate entire chemical processes or system of machines."}},{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://www.onetcenter.org/taxonomy.html","ceterms:targetNode":"https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/51-9011.00","ceterms:codedNotation":"51-9011.00","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Standard Occupational Classification"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Chemical Equipment Operators and Tenders"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Operate or tend equipment to control chemical changes or reactions in the processing of industrial or consumer products.
