About the course

The B.S. degree offered by the department is certified by the American Chemical Society. Students completing the B.S. degree (chemistry or biochemistry option) are certified by the American Chemical Society. The B.S. degree is the professional degree in chemistry, and students who earn the B.S. degree are well prepared for a career in the chemical industry or for graduate work in chemistry. The department provides opportunities for undergraduates to become involved in ongoing research projects. The B.A. degree with an emphasis in biochemistry is especially suited for pre-health students such as pre-medical, pre-dental, or pre-pharmacy students.

　　The department also offers graduate work leading to the M.S. or Ph.D. degree in chemistry with most graduate courses being scheduled in the evening. A student may earn a M.S. degree with or without a thesis. The non-thesis option provides a convenient way for students who are employed full-time to earn an advanced degree. The department also offers a non-thesis M.S. with a professional science emphasis. This option includes 9 credit hours of business courses and an internship practicum.

　　Research leading to a M.S. thesis or Ph.D. dissertation may be conducted in one of five emphasis areas, namely, analytical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, or biochemistry. The nature of the graduate program allows each student to receive individualized attention from his/her research mentor, and to develop hands-on experience with major instrumentation in the department.
