Chemistry Tracks
The Chemistry Program offers four tracks under two degrees:
Bachelor of Science in Chemistry
- Chemistry: This track is tailored for students planning to pursue graduate studies in chemistry, physics, and chemical engineering. This track would also be ideal for those who seek employment in industry upon graduation.
- Chemistry Pre-Pharmacy: This track is primarily tailored for those planning to pursue a pharmacy degree.
- Chemistry-Biology Dual Degree: This track is tailored for those who are planning to pursue medicine and graduate studies in biomedical sciences.
- Chemistry Forensic: The forensic track is aimed at those who wish to pursue a career in a forensic laboratory. Graduates can also pursue graduate school or pursue a career as a laboratory scientist, environmental scientist, or teacher.
Chemistry Minor
Students planning to pursue graduate studies in biological and agricultural sciences can benefit from a minor in Chemistry. Students who plan to teach science at the high school level can also benefit from a minor in Chemistry.
MAJOR REQUIREMENTS
It is very important for new and transfer students who elect Chemistry as a major to contact the Chemistry major program advisor for advisement immediately after declaring this major.
It is recommended that Chemistry majors planning to pursue graduate work in chemistry have adequate experience in research, and the Chemistry Program has courses to help meet this requirement. Having a clear goal of a particular area of interest is also important, and discussions with your advisor and other Chemistry faculty are essential in this process. It is important to focus on identifying and getting into a graduate program that aligns with your career goals and need. Courses in applied mathematics and computer science and as many upper division courses in chemistry and physics as the student’s schedule will permit are also highly recommended.
