Students majoring in chemistry examine the composition, structure and properties of matter with an emphasis on chemical reactions and the nature of chemical bonding. Interested students can learn about career opportunities and pathways in Chemistry and related fields from the American Chemical Society.
The two-year program is designed to meet the requirements for an Associate of Science in Chemistry from CNM and prepare a student to obtain a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry at the University of New Mexico. However, students from CNM seeking a baccalaureate degree may also transfer to other institutions. Students interested in transfer to UNM should consult the UNM Chemistry Department. Students should always refer to the catalog of their intended transfer institution for admission, program, course, and graduation requirements. College catalogs are generally available online. Students should also consult a faculty advisor and/or the CNM Academic Advising Center.
