Chemistry is known as the central science because the study of matter and energy impacts many disciplines. Throughout the curriculum, chemistry majors develop strong reasoning and analysis skills to solve problems that are put into real practice in our laboratories. Students learn to work individually and collaboratively to carry out hands-on experiments utilizing modern instrumentation in our new facilities.
The Chemistry B.S. Degree is nationally accredited by the American Chemical Society. The chemistry degree programs prepare students for a range of career options including: graduate study, professional chemist, K-12 teacher, medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, optometry, and veterinary medicine.
