BA/BS in Chemistry

The chemistry major at Utica University gives students a theoretical and hands-on grounding in the study of matter, from large-scale behaviour down to atoms and molecules. Coursework examines what substances are made of, how they are structured, what properties they show and how they react, with particular attention to atomic and molecular systems. The department holds certification from the American Chemical Society, and the major is shaped for students whose main interests lie in chemistry, biochemistry or medicine. Faculty and modern instrumentation support the work. The program suits analytical students who like solving difficult problems and want skills that carry over into every scientific field, from drug design to astronomy. A chemistry minor and a related biochemistry major are also available.
