Chemistry - General<br />

Everything in the world involves chemistry. The air you breathe, the food<br />

you eat, and the blood coursing through your veins all involve chemistry.<br />

It involves the snow on the mountains, the gasoline you put in your car,<br />

and the batteries used to run your iPod.<br />

A background in chemistry is essential to many high-paying, challenging<br />

careers in health care, technology, consumer industries, environmental<br />

management and more including: Pharmaceuticals, Forensic Science,<br />

Food Technology, Petroleum Industry, Food Technology, Cosmetics<br />

and so much more.<br />

All chemistry courses offered at <strong>Los</strong> <strong>Angeles</strong> City College are designed<br />

to transfer to state and national university systems. Chemistry meets a<br />

general education requirement for most university majors, particularly:<br />

Premedical, Pre-Dental, Nursing, Anthropology, Biology, Chemistry,<br />

Geology, Physics and Pharmacy.<br />
