Chemistry
 Asoociates Degree From San Juan College
This degree is intended primarily for those students interested in transfer to other institutions for Bachelors and Advanced Degrees. However, steady employment opportunities exist in the Rocky Mountain region as well as nation-wide for Associate Degree Chemical Technicians.
In addition to the general Associates of Science Degree core requirements, chemistry majors will need to take Calculus II and III, General Chemistry I and II, Organic Chemistry I and II, Physics I and II (engineering physics preferred), and Analytical Chemistry. See the San Juan College Catalog for more details.
