Courses are displayed to show the fastest path to your degree and should be completed in the order listed. If you are unable to complete all courses listed in a semester, complete as many courses in this sequence as your schedule allows. If you have questions or concerns about your MAP, please see your Academic Advisor.
For students who want to complete a degree in Chemistry and are academically prepared to take General College Chemistry I w/Lab (CHE 1111) and Calculus I (MAT 2410), the AS in Chemistry is the most direct path to a Bachelor’s degree in this field.
It is important for students who are not college Chemistry and Calculus ready to work with their Academic Advisor to develop the best academic plan based on where they are starting, and where they are hoping to transfer.
Program Description
This program is designed for students transferring to a four-year school to complete their BS degree in Chemistry. It allows students to complete the first two years of the BS degree at the community college. Students explore calculus, physics and chemistry. Chemistry is the study of the properties, structure, and change of matter. Students will explore atoms, chemical bonds and reactions, the way matter interacts, and the forces that give matter its properties. This program introduces students to Chemistry and it includes courses that are common to all four-year institutions in Colorado. Career paths for Chemistry degree holders include research, quality control, drug research, chemical engineering, and national defense. The Associate of Science (AS) degree in Chemistry prepares students to complete the second half of a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Chemistry at a four-year university. Careers often require a BS degree or higher.
