The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry offers majors leading to a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of Arts Degree. The B.A. Degree also has a Biochemistry Option. The Bachelor of Science in Chemistry is designed primarily for students who plan to enter graduate programs in chemistry or other closely related sciences. Students graduating with this degree will be certified to the Society and will receive a certificate from the ACS. The Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry fulfills the need of those students who are pursuing pre-medical or pre-dental programs as well as those who plan to enter fields such as business, environmental or patent law, where a background in chemistry can be of great utility.

The Degree in Engineering in Industrial Chemistry provides training based on the theoretical bases and the technologies of this field. Every person graduated in Industrial Chemistry Engineering can carry out tasks of design, maintenance and operation of chemical process equipment, experiment with organic and inorganic substances, heat transmission or mass transfer, fluid flow and chemical reaction engineering. This degree also studies the use of raw materials, the chemistry of natural products, analyzes manufacturing processes, environmental contamination, and industrial safety and hygiene.

Chemistry is at the heart of scientific discovery, shaping industries from healthcare and environmental science to materials engineering. The Bachelor of Science in Chemistry programme offers a comprehensive education in fundamental and applied chemistry, equipping students with the skills and knowledge needed to tackle real-world scientific challenges.

The Department of Chemistry gives students a rigorous education in the basics of chemistry. The curriculum is designed to teach the structure of matter at the molecular level and to provide research experience in the laboratory environment.

Chemistry serves students who wish to prepare themselves for industrial work or graduate study in chemistry as well as those who wish to satisfy the science requirements in the University Core Curriculum for the baccalaureate degree; to meet pre-professional requirements in many fields such as medicine, dentistry, engineering, pharmacy, and nursing; or to fulfill the requirements in chemistry for certification as secondary school teachers in the state of Indiana.

Chemistry is the “central science.” Such diverse subjects as art, anthropology, geology, biology, materials science, environmental science, nursing, pharmacy, dentistry, medicine, and psychology have areas in which fundamental principles and process details are understood in terms of chemistry.

Brewing a bottle of beer, fashioning stronger building materials, analyzing clues left at a crime scene, monitoring contaminants in the environment, creating new medications to fight disease—these are all examples of chemistry in action. Investigation. Research. Developing an understanding of the intricacies of the basic building blocks of life. The study of chemistry is an invitation to explore the wonders of the world in its most elemental state.

You’ll graduate prepared for graduate or professional studies and success in a range of chemistry-related careers. You’ll have the opportunity to conduct cutting-edge research alongside faculty and gain experience with state-of-the-art equipment in the Segerstrom Science Center.

Rider’s chemistry program serves as a solid stepping stone for careers in academia, government, industrial science, science education, medicine, health care and research. Chemistry students at Rider have challenging and engaging experiences in the five areas of chemistry: analytical, inorganic, organic, physical chemistry and biochemistry. Learn in a stimulating classroom environment that encourages student, faculty collaboration and hands-on learning starting your first-year. Students are offered abundant research opportunities both during the academic year and during the summer months.

Our General Bachelor of Science program provides you with excellent basic science training and the flexibility to deepen your knowledge according to your interests, either in the biological sciences or in two of the following four disciplines: biological sciences, chemistry, microbiology or mathematics.

Chemistry is the scientific discipline involved with elements and compounds composed of atoms, molecules, and ions: their composition, structure, behavior and the changes they undergo during a reaction with other substances. Biotechnology is the application of biology to the solution of real-life challenges, where an element of profit is a prerequisite. The two disciplines are connected by their molecular approach and by their vast commercial importance.

The global pharmaceutical industry requires well-trained scientists who have the education and ambition to drive innovative drug development. The Medicinal Chemistry and Chemical Biology (MCCB) program places the student at the forefront of those efforts by providing a fundamental understanding of the drug-body interaction from the molecular to the physiological level. By engaging this broader approach, that is, not only trying to cure disease (medicinal chemistry) but also placing an emphasis on the underlying associated cellular pathways (chemical biology), further innovative opportunities for treating disease will come forward. In this regard the MCCB program is unique within the German academic landscape and should help bridge the evolving needs of the high growth pharmaceutical industry.

The degree course in chemical sciences forms professional figures of excellence that show full capacity for autonomy and flexibility in the world of work.

This entry route is designed to provide you with a gateway to better choice if you’re unsure which area you’d like to study. You can avail of a broad common first year which will introduce you to various topics in Biological and Chemical Sciences. Having gained a better understanding of each subject area, you then choose your preferred pathway to specialise for the remaining 3 years of your degree programme. At UL, you get to try before you decide.

It aims to train professionals in the chemical industry sector. In this sector, which in Spain represents the fourth largest industrial sector (approx. 10%), professionals carry out research, development, design, engineering and process control tasks in various fields (timber companies, petrochemicals, steel, food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic industry etc.).
