As a chemistry major at Suffolk University, you'll gain practical laboratory skills for studying matter and energy in our specialized teaching facilities. With class sizes ranging from just 12 to a maximum of 24 students, you'll receive personalized guidance and detailed feedback on your technical abilities. All core chemistry courses are led by professors—never graduate assistants. Your curriculum follows the rigorous standards set by the prestigious American Chemical Society (ACS). Consider joining Suffolk's nationally recognized ACS student chapter, where members organize guest lectures and engage in community initiatives like volunteering at Boston's Museum of Science or Children's Museum. You might also attend ACS conferences to discover cutting-edge research and potentially showcase your own work. This program perfectly prepares students for research careers, advanced studies, or high-growth industries including pharmaceuticals, environmental science, and industrial manufacturing.
