The Chemistry Department is committed to providing a complete program of Chemistry course offerings to meet the diverse needs of students attending Sierra College. Courses are taught with a strong emphasis on the laboratory portion of the course providing training and experience in the latest scientific technologies and instrumentation.
The Department has a strong commitment to assist students having no prior chemistry experience as well as those with a weak chemistry background. Pursuant with our transfer mission, we commit to providing lecture and laboratory courses that have the necessary breadth, depth, and rigor to ensure our students are successful upon transfer. We also commit to scheduling these courses in such a way that our students will be able to successfully complete all required courses and transfer within two years.
