BA/BS in Chemistry

Chemistry at Northeastern State University is offered as a bachelor of science with several options: professional, environmental, biochemistry and chemistry education. Courses are taught at Tahlequah and Broken Arrow. The curriculum explores what substances are and how they behave, drawing on ideas that underpin molecular biology, environmental and materials science, and medicinal chemistry. Graduates move into research or laboratory work, industrial testing, environmental evaluation, forensic science, intellectual-property law or the classroom. The degree also serves as preparation for graduate study or for health professional schools such as medicine, pharmacy, dentistry and optometry. The department's chemistry offerings have the endorsement of the main US chemistry society, and the education option adds teacher-preparation accreditation.
