Those planning careers as chemists should enjoy science, mathematics and working with their hands. A chemist needs imagination, curiosity, skill in problem-solving and critical thinking, and the ability to focus on details and to work

independently. High school students should study as much science and math as possible. An advanced degree increases job prospects.

A chemist searches for and uses knowledge about chemicals to improve the way we live. Work typically involves research and development and creating products and processes. Chemists often specialize in a subfield such as analytical, organic, inorganic, physical, theoretical, macromolecular, medical, and materials chemistry. BSC’s program provides the first two years of core classes toward a baccalaureate degree. Coursework includes general and organic chemistry, university physics, calculus and differential equations. Students who complete the curriculum requirements earn an Associate in Science degree.

Employment of chemists is projected to grow 6 percent through 2022 with most chemists employed by industry, government and academic institutions, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Environmental research will offer many new opportunities.
