B.S. in Chemistry::Traditional Track
The BS in Chemistry (traditional option) offers students well-balanced training in the fundamental areas of chemistry (i.e. organic, analytical, inorganic, physical, and biochemistry). Students are allowed to complement this training by choosing a number of technical and free electives. Graduates of this track typically engage in undergraduate research and pursue industrial research employment or graduate studies in the chemical sciences. This track also allows for students to seek admission for medical, pharmacy, dental, or law schools. This degree is certified by the American Chemical Society (ACS). Typical Program of Study:
