A Bachelor's degree program for the true chemist
Our Chemistry Bachelor of Science program is designed for students interested in a rigorous curriculum where science is most broadly studied with chemistry at the core, preparing you to enter the workforce directly into a chemistry-based occupation or research. Students in the Bachelor's program are also well-equipped to enter graduate school to pursue Master's or Doctoral levels of education in the sciences.
Most chemists are employed in industry, academia, and the government. Chemists are needed for consulting businesses, research, health care and hospital settings, laboratories, biotechnology, and in all kinds of high-tech areas.
