BA/BS in Chemistry

Chemistry is the study of how matter and energy behave, and why substances react, join together, and transform into new ones. This bachelor's degree at Edgewood University teaches students to use that understanding on real problems, including drug discovery, food and crop production, clean power, and the creation of new materials. The curriculum develops scientific reasoning alongside strong analytical habits, and students choose from several concentrations to shape their studies. Many add a double major, with sciences like biology and physics, mathematics, Spanish, political science, and art all among the options. A combined course of study can broaden a student's interests and strengthen an application to medical, dental, law, or other professional schools. The Bachelor of Science is designed so that most students complete it in four years or less, and transfer students are supported in finishing on a reasonable timeline. Graduates can move directly into a career or continue toward an advanced degree in an academic discipline.
