The Associate of Science Chemistry Degree

Many students use this degree or these classes as a stepping stone into professional programs requiring these types of courses, such as pre-medical, pre-veterinary, or requirements for a bachelors degree in chemistry, biochemistry, or biology.

Our Associate of Science degree (AS) is a Guaranteed Transfer Degree, meaning it will transfer to any four-year state school in Colorado.

Currently, our number one four year transfer destination is University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. A student can start their freshman and sophomore coursework here at PPSC, and finish their junior and senior coursework at UCCS. Other options can include:
  • Adams State University

  • Colorado State University at Ft. Collins or Pueblo
  • Fort Lewis College
  • Metropolitan State University of Denver
  • University of Colorado Colorado Springs, Boulder, or Denver
  • University of Northern Colorado
