What You Will Learn<\/h2>\n

The study of chemistry opens doors to satisfying careers and to a professional life in which the tendency to ask \u201cwhy\u201d can lead to rewarding endeavors.<\/p>\n

Chemistry is a versatile subject area and the pursuit of a career in chemistry can be a most intellectually satisfying experience; no other basic science touches and shapes as many aspects of modern society as chemistry.<\/p>\n

From soft contact lenses and synthetic blood to alternative fuel sources and biotechnology, the study of chemistry has provided the solution to complex problems and has improved the quality of all phases of human life.<\/p>\n

The core courses required for the Associate of Science (A.S.) degree at CCM prepare the student to transfer to a four-year institution and earn a B.S. or B.A. degree; to attend health-related professional schools in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, physical therapy and chiropractic; or to start a career in chemistry.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n
