Gain expertise in chemistry while exploring worldwide challenges and engaging in research from the start of your BS in Chemistry journey. Professors integrate current global data into lessons, equipping students with essential lab techniques and investigative abilities. You'll become a competitive applicant for science careers or advanced studies, benefiting from hands-on research opportunities, presentation practice, and personalized faculty guidance. This dynamic, team-based curriculum readies you for future success. Begin building your chemical foundation through introductory courses and observing faculty and senior researchers. By your second year, you'll contribute to genuine research initiatives—an opportunity most biochemistry students don't encounter until graduate school. Our intimate class sizes and state-of-the-art labs make this early involvement possible. Your research development peaks with a capstone senior project: a year-long investigation into a significant scientific challenge that demonstrates the complete research process, culminating in a conference presentation where you'll receive expert critiques from the scientific community.
Through our demanding program, faculty will prepare you to stand out in your chosen path. Jefferson graduates excel at leading pharmaceutical firms, pursue advanced degrees globally, and achieve recognition as published inventors. With a chemistry degree from Jefferson, you'll have unlimited possibilities in the chemical sciences field.
