This department offers courses in astronomy (ASTR), chemistry (CHEM), geography (GEOG), and geology (GEOL). The astronomy, chemistry, and geology courses, and some of the geography courses can be applied toward the natural sciences requirement of the core curriculum.

Students whose mathematics or science background is weak should consider enrolling in CHEM 1370 Preparatory Chemistry prior to attempting other chemistry courses. Those who plan further work in chemistry, physics, engineering, mathematics, or other sciences, or who are entering pre-professional programs in medicine, dentistry, and similar fields, must complete CHEM 1411 General Chemistry I (or CHEM 1311 General Chemistry Lecture I and CHEM 1111 General Chemistry Laboratory I) and CHEM 1412 General Chemistry II (or CHEM 1312 General Chemistry Lecture II and 1112 General Chemistry Laboratory II). Completion of CHEM 1305 Introductory Chemistry Lecture I, CHEM 1105 Introductory Chemistry Laboratory I, and CHEM 1307 Introductory Chemistry Lecture II satisfies the requirement of seven semester hours of natural science for an Associate of Arts (AA) Degree. Credit toward graduation is given for only one course in each of the following groups:

• Group 1
  1. CHEM 1305 Introductory Chemistry Lecture I.
  2. CHEM 1311 General Chemistry Lecture I.
  3. CHEM 1370 Preparatory Chemistry.
  4. CHEM 1411 General Chemistry I.
  5. CHEM 1405 Introductory Chemistry I.
• Group 2
  1. CHEM 1312 General Chemistry Lecture II.
  2. CHEM 1412 General Chemistry II.
• Group 3
  1. CHEM 1105 Introductory Chemistry Laboratory I.
  2. CHEM 1111 General Chemistry Laboratory I.
• Group 4
  1. CHEM 1307 Introductory Chemistry Lecture II.
  2. CHEM 1407 Introductory Chemistry II.

NOTE: CHEM 1405 is a combination of both CHEM 1305 and CHEM 1105. And CHEM 1407 is a combination of both CHEM 1307 and CHEM 1107.

The Department offers an AA Degree in Geographic Information Systems (GIS). An Associate of Applied Science (AAS) Degree and a one-year GIS Certificate are also offered through the Engineering Technologies Department.
