Chemistry

Eastern Arizona College is the smart place to gain the academic training you need to work in the exciting field of Chemistry.

Careers in chemistry generally require at least a bachelor’s degree, and our associate degree program meets the requirements for the first two years of a four-year bachelor’s program at Arizona’s public, and many other, universities. You can transfer with junior status after building a strong academic foundation in small, stimulating classes taught by quality faculty and offered at an extremely affordable tuition cost. You are encouraged to work closely with an academic adviser and consult the official transfer guide to ensure you are on the correct course to maximize course transferability. You should complete two years of algebra and one year of chemistry in high school or the equivalent college courses to enter the program.
