R E S O L U T I O N

WHEREAS, El Paso Community College has been named one of the top 15 colleges in the nation offering an associate's degree in chemistry; and

WHEREAS, College Cliffs, an online resource for information about colleges, ranked chemistry programs across the country according to several measures, including academic rigor, quality of instruction, accreditation, availability of financial aid, and overall value; and

WHEREAS, The website awarded El Paso Community College's chemistry program high marks for its quality, affordability, and small class sizes, as well as for the many opportunities available to EPCC students after completing their degree; students who earn an associate's degree in chemistry are able to acquire technician positions in the health, business, and industrial sectors, and their coursework also prepares them to transfer to a four-year institution and to potentially further their education with bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees; and
