Physical Science
Welcome to the physical science program at Chemeketa Community College. Physical science consists of chemistry, general science, geology, and physics.
We serve students who major in science, engineering, nursing, pre-pharmacy, and many other fields. If you are interested in a physical science major or career, please look at our information on careers in physical science and contact a faculty member.
Our program continues to innovate to meet the diverse needs of our students –
- We offer alternative delivery methods including online courses
- We offer face to face courses in physical science at both Yamhill Valley and Salem campuses
- We strive to build bridges to both high schools and four year institutions. Our participation in these efforts includes C.S.I. Chemeketa Style and Career Camps
- We open doors through the Women in Science Scholarship
We also support the community –
- We support Chemeketa's sustainability efforts by using green chemistry, cycling to work, and recycling
- We promote science in the community with our planetarium
- We serve the greater scientific community through our participation in the Einstein@Home search for gravitational waves. You can check on Chemeketa in the list of top junior college teams
