AREA OF CONCENTRATION: This transfer track is designed to prepare
students for upper division studies as chemistry majors. All
state public universities and most private universities offer the
bachelor's degree in chemistry. Several of the institutions
offer B.S./A.C.S. degrees, indicating endorsement of the
program by the American Chemical Society. Most colleges
of arts and sciences require an intermediate level of
proficiency in a foreign language beyond that required for
admissions to the university. To enhance students' chemistry
education, the chemistry department at Gulf Coast
Community College offers hands-on instruction in the use of
a wide range of instruments, such as gas chromatography
(GC) and infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR). Several different
levels of computer usage for chemistry are available for
student use. It is strongly recommended that students be
familiar with the admissions requirements of the university
they plan to attend. In addition to the courses below, most
universities require Calculus III and highly recommend
Differential Equations.
