Chemists enjoy unraveling mysteries and answering many questions about nature.
Just a few of the many questions which can be answered with a knowledge of chemistry. The purpose of this curriculum is to prepare the student for transfer to a four-year program of study. The number and sequence of chemistry courses taken is dependent on the student's career goal. This program is designed to provide the student with the technical and academic skills needed to begin a career as a laboratory technician immediately after graduation. Graduates of this program have preparation to allow them to perform clinical diagnostic tests and other typical laboratory procedures required for employment in research and quality control laboratories, medical laboratories, pharmaceutical laboratories and instrumental laboratories as well as in sales and production.
