The American Chemical Society (ACS) certifies this Bachelor of Science in Chemistry program. As the central science, chemistry intersects with biochemistry, biology, engineering, and environmental and materials sciences. Chemists create compounds ranging from life-saving medications to modern materials while recognizing potential unintended effects. They gather and interpret data that informs policy decisions concerning air quality, food safety, soil health, and water purity. Chemistry professionals design safer materials and more efficient processes, along with methods to recycle waste into reusable resources.
Given these varied and significant responsibilities, chemists must master diverse chemical techniques, communicate effectively with scientists and policymakers, and understand their work's societal implications.
Program Objectives
Graduates with a chemistry bachelor's degree will achieve the following competencies:
Master core concepts and techniques across chemistry's principal branches (analytical, biological, inorganic, materials, organic, and physical).
Develop specialized expertise in at least two chemical sub-disciplines.
Acquire comprehensive laboratory skills to contribute meaningfully to professional labs and conduct independent research.
Apply modeling software, theoretical frameworks, computational methods, and simulations to interpret data, forecast outcomes, and validate theories.
