Best major to transfer to chemistry?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I'm currently looking to attend a community college since my grades can't get me into any other school for free (with financial aid I can attend CC for free) so I can transfer to a school that has chemistry as a major, as this CC does not.</p>

<p>None of the courses offered at this CC seems related to chemistry or chemical engineering at all...here is a full list:</p>

<p>Associate in Applied Science degree (A.A.S.):</p>

<pre><code>Accounting
Computer Information Systems (CIS)
(with tracks in Computer Programming and Microcomputer Applications Software)
Management (with concentrations in Marketing and Real Estate-Insurance)

<p>Does the community college have the following courses:</p>

<p>Chemistry: general chemistry (year sequence), organic chemistry (year sequence)
Math: freshman calculus, multivariable calculus, linear algebra, differential equations
Physics: calculus-based sequence (year) for scientists and engineers including mechanics, thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism
English composition
Other humanities and social studies courses</p>

<p>?</p>

<p>If so, it may have enough to fulfill transfer requirements for chemical engineering or chemistry at a state university – check the state university’s transfer credit web site.</p>

<p>You can also check other community colleges to see if they have the needed prerequisites.</p>

<p>Note that chemical engineering has better job and career prospects than chemistry does.</p>
