Welcome to the LACC Chemistry Department

The Los Angeles City College Chemistry Department is dedicated to the success of all our students. We offer our students the chance to excel by creating a warm and open atmosphere for learning with dedicated faculty, and by investing in a community spirit through our extra-curricular activities.

The chemistry discipline offers the complete range of chemistry courses necessary to complete your program of study as well as an opportunity to obtain an AS degree in Chemistry.

Many departmental courses satisfy the IGETC and CSU physical science requirement. Whether you are a science major on the fast track to becoming a chemist, geologist, engineer, doctor, nurse, or pharmacist, or a non-science major looking to just fulfill your GE requirement, all of your chemistry science courses can be completed here, day or night.
