As a central science, a degree in chemistry opens up various career options (O*Net). Chemists study the makeup of substances, how they interact and changes they undergo. One of the popular career paths for the chemists are in the area of research and development.
Chemists can work in a wide variety of industries including plastics, textiles, cosmetics, petroleum refinery, food processing, water and sewage treatment, health sciences, patent law, information science, sales and marketing, government agencies and teaching.
Even if you choose a career in a different field, the skills you gain in chemistry courses are valuable and applicable to almost any career.
The chemistry discipline is built around the Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree that can transfer to a four-year institution. It provides a well-rounded general educational foundation and elective options to focus on your interests.
While MCC does not offer a degree in this field, these freshman/sophomore level courses move with you to a four-year college or university and depending on your chosen major may apply toward your degree or as an elective.
Please check with an advisor for transfer information.
