Bachelor's Degree
The Bachelor of Science in Chemistry (B.S.) with a Chemical Physics specialization is a professional program that qualifies for American Chemical Society certification (when certain criteria are met). This degree prepares students for careers as chemists, whether pursuing graduate studies or entering the chemical industry workforce. The curriculum features 400-level courses in foundational chemistry areas (CHEM 1410, 1420), organic chemistry (CHEM 2410, 2420), and physical chemistry (CHEM 3410, 3420), all including lab components. Students with exceptional chemistry backgrounds (often through advanced placement) may substitute equivalent 800-level courses for the standard 400-track offerings.
