The Associate in Applied Science Degree in Chemical Technology prepares students to directly enter the workforce upon graduation.  Potential program enrollees should have an interest in science, demonstrate a knack for problem solving, and enjoy hands on operation of equipment.

While some graduates choose to continue their education immediately upon graduation, other graduates readily find employment.  There is a severe shortage of chemical technicians locally and nationwide.

Typical industries employing chemical technicians include: manufacturing, environmental firms, government agencies, pharmaceutical firms, forensic laboratories, the cosmetic industry, petroleum industry, food companies, hospitals, and clinics.
