Chemistry

Chemistry is the study of matter and the chemical reactions between substances. Chemistry is also the study of matter's composition, structure, and properties. Matter is essentially anything in the world that takes up space and has mass.

Our chemistry program offers chemistry for transfer (AS-T) degrees, math and science associate's degrees and certificates.
