Chemistry: Math Concentration to Marine Science: Oceanography Concentration

An opportunity to gain an associate degree from Delaware Tech and a bachelor's degree from the University of Delaware.

Your Path to a Bachelor's Degree

Delaware Tech has established agreements with four-year colleges and universities that connect Delaware Tech associate degree programs with bachelor's degree programs to create smooth transfer opportunities for you. These Connected Degree programs enable you to complete your associate degree and then transfer to a four-year degree program as a junior.

The Connected Degree 2+2 Curriculum

Delaware Tech's associate degree program in Chemistry: Math Concentration teaches students the processes and procedures of laboratory work, modern instrumentation and chemical principles in preparation for employment in research and in a laboratory setting. This option also prepares students for further study at the baccalaureate level. Knowledge of chemistry is critical in areas such as biology, chemical engineering, dentistry, forensic science, materials science, medicine, and pharmacy. For students interested in a career in chemistry or other scientific fields, the Associate Degree in Chemistry Technology: Math Concentration is an excellent start. University of Delaware's Bachelor of Science Degree in Marine Science trains students to naturally cross disciplinary boundaries and seek out relevant information. Marine Science is an inherently interdisciplinary field, requiring students to combine and apply basic physical, chemical and biological concepts to the marine environment. This training prepares our students to learn beyond UD, create, innovate and thrive in a field that is rapidly changing. Our students have direct exposure to the marine environment and research throughout their entire career at UD, building on CEOE and SMSP's track record in research excellence.
