And offers Track Two B.S. degree choices from among eight options: Biochemistry, Business, Chemistry Education, Chemical Engineering, Environmental Chemistry, Forensic Science, Materials Science, and Premed. Advanced Biochemistry This track-one option leads to a degree approved by the American Chemical Society. It is designed for students continuing their chemistry education in graduate school or seeking careers directly in the chemistry workforce. It provides a rigorous chemistry foundation with extensive laboratory experience. Advanced Chemistry This track-one option leads to a degree approved by the American Chemical Society. Designed for students continuing their chemistry education in graduate school or seeking careers directly in the chemistry workforce. Biochemistry The Biochemistry option is for students interested in working in biotechnology areas. Students can earn a BS degree in Chemistry in four years while targeting a career direction in biotechnology or preparing for graduate studies in chemistry. This option includes nine courses in biology, biochemistry including lab, and genetics and molecular biology. Business The Business option is designed for chemists interested in, for example, opening a small business, working in sales and marketing, or as preparation for entering the MBA program at OSU. This option is also a good stepping stone for law school or graduate studies in chemistry. The option includes six courses in accounting, law, finance, organizational systems. Chemical Engineering The Chemical Engineering option offers selected chemical engineering concepts that may enhance career opportunities in areas such as electronics, polymers, and biotechnology, or prepare students for graduate studies in chemistry or related fields. Students can earn a BS degree in Chemistry in four years while targeting a career direction. Chemistry Education The Chemistry Education option is directed at students planning to teach high school chemistry or continuing on with graduate education and teaching careers at community colleges. Students can earn a BS degree in Chemistry in four years and obtain experience that can be useful when applying for the Master of Science in Science Education from OSU. Environmental Chemistry The Environmental Chemistry option is structured to provide a quality foundation for working in government, industrial or university labs studying the behavior of chemicals in the environment. It also is suited to graduate education in chemistry or environmental chemistry. Students can earn a BS degree in Chemistry in four years while targeting their career. Forensic Science The Forensic Science option is appropriate for students interested in working in a crime lab or pursuing a graduate degree in forensic science or chemistry. Students can earn a BS degree in Chemistry in four years and also take a combination of courses that enhance chemistry major's background in biology, biochemistry, and related areas that can be important in forensic science. Materials Science The Materials Science option is customized to include applied courses in a variety of materials areas to enhance career opportunities in, for example, electronics, polymers and biotechnology. Pre-Medicine The Pre-Medicine option is directed at students planning to apply to medical or dental school who also wish to target chemistry as a career pathway.
