About the course

The BS in Chemistry equips our graduates to work as lab technicians and chemistry sales/technicians. It is also designed for students who plan to pursue graduate studies in patent law, chemistry, materials science, and other fields. Hofstra chemistry majors experience the main disciplines of chemistry through foundation courses. Classes are offered in organic and inorganic chemistry, analytical and physical chemistry, and biochemistry. Students are also required to take an assortment of classes in mathematics and physics. Some advanced electives include medicinal chemistry, environmental chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, and theories of electrons. Hofstra offers a BA in Chemistry, a BS in Chemistry, a BS in Biochemistry, and the interdisciplinary BS in Forensic Science. Minors are also available in chemistry, biochemistry, and forensic science.

　　Immerse yourself in exciting research areas that have the potential to make a real difference in society. As early as their first year, Hofstra chemistry students begin working with sophisticated laboratory equipment and alongside faculty on research affecting health care, the environment, engineering, and other fields. Chemistry, often called the ?central science? because it connects all the other sciences, is great preparation for a career in medicine, engineering, environmental science, health care, or education. The Department of Chemistry's program for the BS major in chemistry is accredited by the American Chemical Society if the appropriate options are selected (see below). A student completing this course of study will be awarded a certificate from the Society. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
