*This Program Path sunsets starting Fall 2024

*The Program Path starting Fall 2024 is To Be Determined

The Associate of Science with an emphasis in Chemistry and Pre-Chemical Engineering at NCCC provides the general education courses normally taken in the first two years at a four-year college or university, with major in chemistry or chemical engineering. Study in college chemistry, calculus, and physics will prepare the student for the junior level at four-year universities. Furthermore, it will equip a student with the basic chemistry techniques and technology used in chemistry labs.

Prerequisites

The student will need to demonstrate proficiencies in reading, English, and mathematics based on the Mandatory Placement Policy, or by taking the recommended/ required classes. Some of the courses in this curriculum have specific prerequisites.

Program Path Sequence

The listing that follows is a recommended sequence of courses for full-time students. The student should consult with an advisor for information specific to their academic situation.
