About the Program
RVC Chemistry students learn from faculty members who are subject matter experts in their respective areas. The Jacobs Center for Science and Math (JCSM) offers state-of-the-art chemistry laboratories providing hands-on opportunities where students learn about the disciplines in general, organic, and biochemistry.
What can I do with this degree?
We do not offer a degree or certificate in Chemistry, although a student who earns and Associate in Science degree may continue their studies at a four-year college or university working towards a B.S. in Chemistry. After transfer, students could work in a wide variety of fields including medicinal, biochemistry, chemical engineering, inorganic, organic, analytical or physical chemistry. See the American Chemical Society page for more details.
Students holding a bachelor degree are able to complete prerequisite coursework for pharmacy and medical programs. For more information, please contact the department chair.
Program Pathways
Students should meet with an Academic Advisor to develop a clear pathway leading to a seamless transfer experience or transition to the workforce. For additional possibilities that may require an advanced degree or certification, make an appointment with an Academic Advisor.
