The Associate of Science in Chemistry will transfer to a four-year institution. Students intending to major in chemistry have the opportunity to start their degree program at MCC. Click here and we’ll send you more information about the program.

Students completing the AS-Chemistry will have the academic foundation and experience needed for transfer to a university chemistry degree program.

The program also provides theoretical knowledge and laboratory skills required for entry-level jobs that require two years of college-level science and math.

Chemistry is often called the "central science" because it connects other sciences, such as physics, material science, nanotechnology, biology, pharmacy, medicine, bioinformatics and geology. These connections are formed through various sub-disciplines that utilize concepts from multiple scientific disciplines. For example, physical chemistry involves applying the principles of physics to materials at the atomic and subatomic level.
