Bachelor of Science inChemistry
The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Chemistry has been designed to
prepare undergraduate students for graduate and professional schools or
employment in the chemical sciences. The chemistry curriculum includes a core
of chemistry, physics, and mathematics courses that will provide the students
with skills essential for all chemistry-related careers, and will be combined with
directed electives in an area of interest. Students will be prepared for the
following professional programs: medical school, dental school, pharmacy
school, veterinary school, and physical therapy and physician assistant
programs. This curriculum is also designed to prepare students for the following
graduate programs: chemistry, biochemistry, public health, environmental
science, and forensic science.
