The B.S. degree in chemistry, which has been approved by the American Chemical Society since 1941, is often selected by students who seek professional positions in industrial and governmental laboratories or plan to pursue graduate studies in chemistry or a related field in preparation for research careers in industry or for a faculty position at a college or research university. Students in the B.S. program are expected to complete more course work in calculus and calculus-based physics classes prior to taking upper-level chemistry courses in analytical, inorganic and physical chemistry during their junior and senior year. Chemistry majors are encouraged to engage in undergraduate research in the department’s state-of-the art teaching and laboratory facilities. Students can expect an in-depth, hands-on approach during their time in the department. Sample Course Schedules Wondering what your typical day might be like?
