Chemistry-ACS

The AS in chemistry program is well suited for students with a strong background and interest in science. Since the calculus and physics requirements for the AS program are more extensive than for the AA, the AS is most appropriate for students with strengths in both science and mathematics. The program provides for extensive laboratory work; therefore, the enjoyment of hands-on laboratory work is important. Chemistry majors in this program also learn to observe critically and record what happens in the laboratory; they analyze data and apply chemical knowledge learned in the classroom to draw conclusions about their observations.

 Graduates with a bachelor’s degree in this major are employed as: 

• Chemists in the manufacturing industry and state, local or federal governments.
• Chemistry teachers
• Industrial research and development scientists
• Forensic scientists
• Physicians and health care professionals

Many of the students who complete the BS in chemistry program go on to graduate schools, primarily into doctoral programs. Others go to professional schools, including medicine, pharmacy and dentistry

A solid foundation to build upon is important to achieving success in chemistry. Students at UC Blue Ash College (UCBA) enjoy small classes and well-qualified faculty as well as the many benefits afforded through study at a university ranked among the nation's top 25 public research institutions.

UC’s Blue Ash campus is conveniently located not far from major interstates. Easy to find. Plenty of parking. State-school tuition.

To qualify for an AS degree, you must fulfill the requirements of the program from which you expect to graduate and must have at least an overall 2.0 cumulative grade point average.  Students must take at least one half of the required course work in a selected program at UCBA to qualify for graduation.

You must complete an application for degree, usually the term before you expect to graduate. In addition, you should see your advisor for specific information well in advance of your final term.

For students outside UC wishing to transfer in, information can be found here.

Students must take at least one half of the required course work in a selected program at UCBA to qualify for graduation.

For current UC students who wish to transfer from one UC program to another:   

• Fill out an Application for Change in College and Program (sometimes referred to as the "On-Campus Transfer Form"). This form may also be obtained from your current college office.
• Submit the completed form to the college which offers the program that you want to transition into.

Once you have submitted the form, the faculty and staff of your desired major will evaluate your academic record and communicate with you about the transition process.

Students must take at least one half of the required course work in a selected program at UCBA to qualify for graduation.
