BSc in Chemistry - Environmental Chemistry in Irvine United States | University of California Irvine

Environmental chemistry focuses on chemical interactions within Earth's ecosystems, including biofilm development on surfaces, urban air pollution generation, and water contaminant breakdown. Students will explore core principles of Environmental Chemistry across aquatic, atmospheric, and terrestrial systems, along with Marine Geochemistry and Biogeochemistry. Given the field's dependence on cutting-edge analytical techniques, students will participate in a practical Physical Chemistry Laboratory course. Numerous undergraduate research opportunities exist, particularly in atmospheric chemistry studies. Graduates specializing in Environmental Chemistry will gain qualifications suitable for careers in environmental testing firms, regulatory bodies, or pursuing advanced degrees in graduate or professional programs.
