BA/BS in Applied Chemistry

The applied chemistry program offers three research directions: applied electrochemistry, materials chemistry, and commodity quality inspection. It is designed to give students a broad base in chemical theory together with specialized knowledge and practical ability in these fields. Students are also encouraged to develop teamwork, organizational skills and an international outlook. Core courses include organic and physical chemistry, chemical engineering principles, theoretical electrochemistry, materials research methods, quality inspection technology, chromatography and mass spectrometry, and electroplating technology. The program prepares graduates for process design, technology development, applied research and operations management in industrial production. Graduates find work in chemical, biopharmaceutical and materials manufacturing companies, and many go on to postgraduate study. Graduates have continued to study at universities including the University of Science and Technology of China, Beijing University of Chemical Technology and Harbin Institute of Technology.
