BA/BS in Chemistry

Often called the central science, chemistry underpins progress in medicine, the environment and biotechnology. The college's program gives students practical lab time, research projects and internships that build both technical and communication abilities. Specialized laboratories with modern instruments support the training. Graduates find roles in industry, sales support, conservation, biotech labs, wineries and legal settings. Those who want to teach can add an education minor and prepare for secondary certification. Every student works with a faculty mentor on a research project of their own and presents it at the college's annual conference. Benedictine ideals of stewardship, community and stability shape the program. Students leave with practical laboratory skills as well as clear scientific writing. Saint Vincent College is a Catholic, Benedictine liberal arts institution located in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, and it offers this program to its students.
