About the course

Chemistry is the study of the composition, structure, properties, and reactions of matter and substances, especially of atomic and molecular systems. It is an inspiring and diverse field of study?the science of change. As the American Chemical Society notes, ?Anything that can be touched, tasted, smelled, seen or felt is made of chemicals and chemists are the people who transform the everyday materials around us into amazing things.? Undergraduate students in our program: Have the opportunity to conduct research in state-of-the-art instrumentation facilities Receive individual attention by faculty who are committed to teaching Study in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere and enjoy a supportive environment in which to pursue their interests. The BS program is designed primarily for students who anticipate professional careers in chemistry and related science. The program provides the range of knowledge, skills, and experience required for work as a professional chemist or for entry into graduate studies in chemistry. The fundamental work is completed by the end of the third year, leaving the senior year free for graduate-level coursework and a full year of independent research with one of the department?s faculty.

　　Many students are concerned about the relative advantages of the bachelor of science and bachelor of arts degrees. To make this decision you should think about your career and educational goals. If your ambition is to attend medical, dental or law school, the BA degree will offer more flexibility in choosing other premedical/pre-dental courses. The BA can also be supplemented with senior research and perhaps a graduate course in chemistry and can adequately prepare one for a career in chemistry. The BA is also flexible enough to allow students to have a double major. If you desire to get a job or attend a graduate program in chemistry immediately after college in the chemical industry, a BS degree will suit your needs. Our BS degree program has additional requirements in chemistry and supporting sciences. It is also an American Chemical Society (ACS) approved program, which may provide some advantage in terms of employment. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
