Chemistry Bachelor's Degree

LEARNING, NETWORKING, AND CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

The Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemistry prepares students for careers as professional chemists and serves as a foundation for careers in other fields such as biology, medicine, and health sciences. The program and all of the degrees are certified by the American Chemical Society (ACS). The curriculum offers a thorough fundamental knowledge of the major fields of chemistry, such as general, organic, inorganic, and biochemistry, as well as many specialized courses including analytical, instrumental, nuclear, toxicology and medicinal chemistry. Each foundation course in each of analytical, inorganic, organic, biochemistry and physical chemistry focuses on laws, theories, and applications in the lecture portion and offers students the opportunity to have hands-on experiences with instruments in laboratories. In addition, the program offers opportunities for students to participate in many emerging research projects under the guidance of a faculty mentor.
