Chemistry Math Concentration

Chemistry

A.A.S. Degree (S)

The Chemistry, Math Concentration Option is equivalent to the first two years of a Baccalaureate program in Chemistry. Connected Degree agreements with the University of Delaware and Delaware State University create a seamless path between Delaware Tech and senior institutions.

Knowledge of chemistry is critical in areas such as biology, chemical engineering, dentistry, forensic science, materials science, medicine, and pharmacy.

* DTCC students intending to transfer to University of Delaware (UD) through a connected degree are advised to confirm their admission eligibility directly with UD.

* The following connected degree programs at UD have an additional course requirement that must be completed prior to transfer.  Please note that the additional course will not be covered by financial aid as it not required for the DTCC degree. 

  • BS in Biochemistry requires BIO 151
  • BS in Marine Science: Marine Biology Concentration requires BIO 151
  • BS in Marine Science: Oceanography Concentration requires MAT 283

 

To complete program requirements, you must pass the above courses and earn at least 67 credits. The number of courses and credits required for graduation may be more depending on your need for developmental education courses and the elective choices you make (if electives are a part of the program). Some programs also have college-level courses that you must take if you do not score at a certain level on the College Placement Test. If this applies to your program, the courses are listed at the top of the sequence sheet before the first semester of the course list.
