Physical Science - Chemistry

The Physical Science AS degree provides the students with a solid foundation of Physical sciences with emphasis either in Chemistry, Physics, Astronomy, or Earth Science. The Program emphasizes critical thinking, data analysis, and problem solving in its approach to learning. Students understand and demonstrate the scientific laws and theories and the applications thereof, in their chosen emphasis. Program Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of this program, students will be able to compare and contrast the general chemistry performance exam taken at Glendale Community College with the national performance norm, reported by the American Chemical Society.

All courses used to satisfy the major for the Associate in Arts degree must be completed with a grade of "C" or better.
