Chemistry, B.S.

Program Coordinator: W. David Harding, Ph.D.

The B.S. in Chemistry program includes most of the courses recommended by the American Chemical Society (ACS) and provides a rigorous background well-suited to those students who will pursue graduate studies in chemistry. The program is also highly recommended for premedical students. The program contains six technical electives. By careful selection of courses, these electives allow the student to develop a cluster in a related field such as biotechnology, biochemistry, computer science, environmental studies, or an engineering field.

Students majoring in forensic science may also earn a B.S. degree in chemistry by taking 16 credits in addition to those required for the B.S. degree in forensic science.
