Introduction
Upon completing the required Chemistry courses and other degree graduation requirements, an Associate of Science Degree in Chemistry will be granted.
The mission of the San Diego Mesa College Chemistry Department is three-fold and as follows:
To prepare transfer students for upper-division science courses.
To prepare students for jobs or careers in the sciences and health industries.
To provide a basic understanding of scientific principles to prepare students to make informed decisions about issues they will face as responsible citizens.
The Chemistry Program permits the student to fulfil the lower-division chemistry for transfer programs to four-year institutions and acquire the necessary skills for employment in Chemistry.
Careers in chemistry include "traditional" activities (e.g., analysis, synthesis), interdisciplinary fields (e.g., materials, biophysics), and related professions such as medicine, patent law, education, technical writing, art conservation, forensic science, and many others.
Students will be assessed through a combination of performance evaluations, written assignments, and written tests and quizzes.
Students planning to transfer to a four-year college or university should complete courses required for the university major and the general education pattern required by that transfer institution.
