The B.S. in Chemistry should serve as a general preparation for a professional scientist. The major was designed according to guidelines from the American Chemical Society (ACS) to be rigorous, yet flexible enough to allow for preparation for immediate employment, graduate study, or work in an allied profession.
From the introductory through the advanced level of courses, students have access to the instrumentation and facilities of the department. The faculty values a hands-on approach to chemical education. The major is structured to provide a strong background for work culminating in a final year, which is flexible enough to allow faculty-directed independent research or interdisciplinary study.
Students considering a major in Chemistry should consult a member of the faculty for advice on the sequence of courses, as the courses in related fields described below are prerequisites for upper-level study.
