About the Department
Welcome to the Chemistry Department! Our chemistry program integrates classroom instruction with laboratory experimentation and faculty-student collaborative research. For those of you interested in graduate school or work in industrial or governmental laboratories, we offer a B.S. degree certified by the American Chemical Society. A non-certified B.S. degree in chemistry is available to students pursuing careers such as: teaching, engineering, medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine and law. This degree option is ideal for double majors who need flexibility in their course schedules.
Both degrees enable you to tailor your coursework to your specific interests, with courses such as Green Chemistry and Environmental Chemistry. As a chemistry major, you can engage in research activities during the academic year and conduct stipend-bearing research during the summer. You will collaborate closely with a faculty member on your senior research project.
