Modern chemistry is the cornerstone for a large number of professions and industries.
The chemistry major programs are based on a career-oriented concept and offer students an excellent opportunity to prepare for the study of medicine and dentistry and to do advanced study in many fields of science. The chemistry department offers major programs that lead to the B.A. or B.S. degree. The two degree curricula differ mainly in their arts and sciences content and advanced science course requirements. All students take courses in organic, inorganic, physical, and analytical chemistry. Qualified students are encouraged to undertake a research program under the supervision of a faculty member.
