Program Goal
The Chemical Technology program prepares individuals to become chemical technicians. The program is highly hands-on, promotes teamwork, and trains students with analytical, practical, and communication skills that parallel the industry environment, enabling them to think critically and solve on-the-job problems. Employment opportunities include positions with job titles such as chemical analyst, chemical technician, formulation technician, laboratory analyst, laboratory technician, laboratory tester, organic preparation analyst, quality control technician, research technician, and water quality technician. Upon completion of six courses, students will earn a Certificate of Achievement in Chemical Technology. Because five of the six courses in the certificate program are transferrable to the University of California, California State University, and private institutions, students have the option to complete electives and general education courses to earn an Associate of Science in Chemical Technology degree.
