The ACS-track focuses on additional upper division course requirements and more research experience. The BS in Chemistry degree offers a number of career options. Such options include attending medical or dental school, pursuing graduate study in chemistry, working in industrial and government laboratories, or teaching in the public schools. The twelve department faculty members, all with Ph.D.s degrees in chemistry, work closely with students in the classroom, and in teaching and research laboratories as well. A significant number of chemistry majors participate in research with faculty members.
Some students start doing research as early as the sophomore year.
If you want to know more specifics about departmental faculty, check the individual descriptions of our faculty members. I invite you to visit and learn more about UCA and the chemistry program here. Scholarship aid is available to qualified students interested in majoring in chemistry.
