      Associate of Science Programs in Chemical Engineering

      Associate degrees are designed for students to learn specific skills and fundamentals in a particular field of study. Credits in these programs can sometimes be transferred to an additional bachelor’s degree if a student continues his or her education.

      What is an Associate of Science in Chemical Engineering? Chemical engineering is related to many other concentrations of engineering and has a similar goal of identifying problems and possible solutions for the development and production of materials. Courses in this subject may include biology, chemistry, physics and advanced mathematics like calculus. With an emphasis on chemistry, students study the reaction of chemicals and their real-world applications to optimize materials and manufacturing in various industries.

      There are numerous benefits to studying chemical engineering that can be helpful in multiple aspects of life and employment. Chemical engineering students are typically analytical and detail oriented, and with an advanced education, these students may improve written and verbal communication skills.

      The cost of an associate degree is typically cheaper than more advanced bachelor’s degrees, and they usually take around two years, or half the time, to complete. Students taking this educational route may find themselves in an entry-level career sooner than they would if they were earning a bachelor’s degree.

      Students who earn an associate degree can often find careers faster than students without a degree; however, more lucrative jobs are usually available for students with a bachelor’s degree or higher. In chemical engineering, students may work to produce materials for a variety of industries ranging from medical equipment to military aircraft parts. Chemical engineers and technicians prioritize efficiency and cost. Careers include working as energy managers, manufacturing engineers, quality managers and production managers.

      Associate degrees in chemical engineering are typically offered at community colleges and some universities. Search for your program below and contact directly the admission office of the school of your choice by filling in the lead form.
