  • The four-year curriculum leading to the Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry enables the graduate to enter professional practice as a chemist in the areas of research, development, production, sales consulting and management, or to enter graduate or professional programs leading to advanced degrees in the following broad fields of specialization: analytical chemistry, biochemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, or physical chemistry. The judicious use of electives enables those interested in the health profession schools to meet admission requirements at these schools.

    The Bachelor of Science in Chemistry requires completion of 125 credit hours of course work including 46 credit hours in chemistry courses, 38 credit hours in departmental requirements, 34 credit hours of university required core courses, 7 credit hours of general electives, satisfactory completion of the Writing Proficiency Examination (proving competency in communication), and a departmental comprehensive examination (proving competency in fundamental chemical principles).
    MISSION                                                       BACK TO TOP
    To educate undergraduate students on the appropriate fundamental and advanced aspects of chemistry and to prepare chemistry majors for employment, graduate school, or professional school.
