Bachelor's Degree
The Bachelor of Science in Chemistry (B.S.) with an Environmental Chemistry specialization is a professional program that qualifies for American Chemical Society certification (upon meeting certain criteria). This degree prepares students for careers as chemists, whether pursuing graduate studies or entering the chemical industry. The curriculum features 400-level courses in general chemistry (CHEM 1410, 1420), organic chemistry (CHEM 2410, 2420), and physical chemistry (CHEM 3410, 3420), each with accompanying lab components. Students with exceptional chemistry backgrounds, typically through advanced placement, may substitute these with equivalent 800-level courses, which are often recommended for such candidates.
