The Department of Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Physics provides an accelerated five-year dual-degree program, enabling eligible students to earn both a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and a Master of Science in Chemistry with a pharmaceutical chemistry focus. Our department features ACS-accredited B.S. in Chemistry degrees alongside M.S. in Chemistry programs. Students can choose from various undergraduate and graduate concentrations, plus minor programs at the bachelor's level. We boast state-of-the-art facilities with advanced instrumentation such as 300 MHz NMR spectrometers, liquid chromatography systems, GC-MS equipment, high-resolution FTIR, and Raman spectroscopy tools. The Chemistry B.S. serves as the foundational degree for careers in chemical/pharmaceutical industries and advanced studies in chemistry, biochemistry, pharmaceutical sciences, biomedical engineering, and related fields. This program particularly benefits aspiring professionals targeting medical, pharmacy, or veterinary schools, with pre-med students typically taking the MCAT during their junior year following organic chemistry coursework.
