The program consists of four semesters of fulltime classroom and laboratory instruction. The program is designed so that it may be completed by individuals with little of no science background. Both traditional as well as the non-traditional students are welcome. Students benefit from continuous individualized career advisement throughout their studies. While this curriculum is based on the science of chemistry as well as mathematics, a variety of technical electives allow the students to gather experience in related areas or to prepare for entry into an advanced degree program.
Students gain experience through the individualized hands-on approach.
While employment traditionally occurs in the chemical industry, graduates are also employed in biological, biotechnological, metallurgical, and food chemistry laboratories and in other related areas.
