Do you want to share your love of chemistry with others? Graduates of the Chemistry (BS) - Secondary Education degree at Appalachian State University are prepared to teach chemistry at the high school level. Based on the reputation of the Department of Chemistry and Fermentation Sciences and Appalachian's Reich College of Education teacher preparation program, students often receive multiple job offers and can work at the high school of their choice.
Appalachian's Department of Chemistry and Fermentation Sciences is an accredited program of the American Chemical Society (ACS), and students are able to graduate with an ACS certificate. Its programs are multi-disciplinary and combine innovative and intellectually challenging curriculum, scholarship and service/engagement opportunities that employ state-of-the-art technologies.
