BA/BS in Chemistry

Chemistry at Brockport is framed around lab work from the first year, with undergraduates working closely with doctoral-level faculty and using research-grade instruments. Students examine how matter and bonding connect to real problems such as battery and solar technology, biodegradable materials, medical diagnostics and greener manufacturing. An extended track adds advanced coursework in laboratory technique and instrumentation, and graduates of that track qualify for membership in the American Chemical Society. A separate accelerated route lets a student begin master's-level chemistry education courses while still an undergraduate. Graduates go on to graduate school or to work in areas like forensics and food science.
