What are PPSC Chemistry graduates doing?

Many students use our Chemistry degree as a stepping stone for pre-medical, pre-veterinary programs, or for bachelor's degrees in chemistry, biochemistry, or biology.

Our Associate of Science (AS) degree is a Guaranteed Transfer Degree, meaning it will transfer to any four-year state school in Colorado. You can start your first two years of coursework at PPSC and finish your bachelor’s degree at schools like: 
  • University of Colorado at Colorado Springs (UCCS) 
  • Adams State University 
  • Colorado Mesa University 
  • Colorado State University (Ft. Collins or Pueblo) 
  • Fort Lewis College 
  • Metropolitan State University of Denver 
  • University of Colorado (Boulder, Denver) 
  • University of Northern Colorado 
  • Western State Colorado University 
It is important that you work closely with your academic advisor and transfer institution to ensure your classes will help you reach your goals.
