Description:
The Chemistry degree is designed for students who are planning to transfer as Chemistry majors, and who subsequently are planning to pursue a career in industrial research and development, medicine, science teaching, toxicology, pharmacy, environmental studies, space studies or other related fields.
To complete this major, students must complete a library research course and 39 units of preparatory chemistry, math and physics courses that are required by accredited four-year institutions.
Additional courses must be taken to satisfy the General Education requirements of Santa Rosa Junior College.
Program Student Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this major, the student will be able to:
- Relate observable phenomena to molecular events according to prevailing chemical theories;
- identify, synthesize, predict and explain the structure of a variety of compounds, both inorganic and organic;
- accurately and safely obtain and analyze data from experimental sources, including traditional laboratory methods, computer-interfaced data collection devices, and advanced analytical instrumentation;
- use critical thinking skills to analyze applications of chemical knowledge and theories; and
- communicate effectively the results of laboratory experiments, including error analysis.
