BA/BS in Chemistry

The chemistry program at St. John Fisher University has earned approval from the American Chemical Society, which signals a broad and rigorous education for future scientific professionals. Introductory courses are small and upper-level classes are smaller still, so students receive plenty of personal attention. Majors pick a B.S. or a B.A., which differ in the amount of mathematics and chemistry required. Both options begin with identical introductory courses and include sophomore and senior seminars focused on careers, graduate school and current research. Oral and written communication are tested in lectures and labs. Graduates enter the chemical industry in the private sector or government, teach high school chemistry, or continue to graduate and professional school. Students who want to teach can pair chemistry with the inclusive adolescence education major.
