S&T provides both Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science options for chemistry undergraduates. The ACS Committee on Professional Training (CPT) evaluated the department's 2021 periodic review, confirmed the program's compliance with ACS standards, and endorsed ongoing ACS accreditation for the B.S. program. This enables the department to keep awarding certificates to graduates. The subsequent periodic review is scheduled for 2027.
The Bachelor of Arts program delivers a comprehensive liberal arts foundation, enabling chemistry majors to tailor their studies to specific career objectives. Students may also select the 'Secondary Education emphasis track, specifically crafted for those pursuing secondary school teaching careers. The Chemistry Department collaborates with the Education Department to integrate contemporary teaching methods into STEM instruction and vice versa. This curriculum holds approval from the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. Aspiring teachers targeting other states should verify reciprocity agreements with those jurisdictions.
The Bachelor of Science program focuses intensively on chemistry training and carries American Chemical Society certification. Students can pursue specialized tracks, with available concentrations including Biochemistry, Polymer & Coatings Chemistry, and Pre-medical studies.
