BA/BS in Chemistry

Chemistry majors choose between a ten-course Bachelor of Arts and a more intensive seventeen-course Bachelor of Science. An accelerated route combines the bachelor's and master's degrees. Students use modern instrumentation from the first year, and laboratory courses are led by faculty rather than assistants. Advanced topics prepare them for selective jobs and graduate programs. Students have published in academic journals and presented at national conferences, and graduates find roles across drug development, consumer goods, biotech, environmental consulting, public agencies and universities. The department page lists requirements for the major and gives contact details for the faculty office. Prospective students can follow the link there to the university admissions pages, which explain how applications are submitted. Questions about courses or advising are best directed to the department directly.
