BA/BS in Chemistry

The Bachelor of Science in Chemistry gives students a solid base for either a chemistry career or graduate study. Undergraduates can take part in research with faculty mentors and select a concentration in general chemistry, biochemistry, or materials. The curriculum surveys five branches of the field, namely organic, inorganic, analytical, physical, and biological work. Graduates commonly find work in laboratories, research firms, and manufacturing. The biochemistry concentration suits those heading toward healthcare or research, while the materials concentration fits students aiming at engineering. Degree completion requires 120 credits made up of college group requirements, university general education, and major courses. A Gateway to the Sciences option is mentioned for students who want to finish sooner. Undergraduates are encouraged to pursue independent research, either on their own or alongside an experienced mentor, which builds practical laboratory experience before graduation.
