Key Summary
The Chemistry program prepares students for industrial or government laboratory work or graduate work in Chemistry or Biochemistry. The Chemistry emphasis provides a strong foundation for students entering the professional health fields, especially the pre-professional programs such as Pre-Medical, Pre-Dental, Pharmacy, and Medical Technology.
The Geochemistry emphasis couples a solid foundation in analytical chemistry with deductive thinking skills, three-dimensional visualization skills, and a fundamental understanding of earth materials that the earth sciences offer. Students graduating with this major are prepared for careers in the geotechnical industry as well as continuing their education in a graduate program in the Environmental Earth Sciences.
Students may also complete courses required for secondary teaching certification.
Upon completion of the program, students will be well-prepared to:
- Understand the relationship between matter and energy, composition and structure, and their relation to physical and chemical behavior
- Apply chemical principles to biological, geological, and environmental phenomena
- Demonstrate quantitative and conceptual reasoning
- Think critically and apply knowledge in novel contexts
- Safely and effectively apply laboratory skills
- Design, conduct, and report scientific research within the discipline
Graduates with a BA/BS in Chemistry go on to obtain careers in a variety of fields:
- Analytical
- Organic or Inorganic Chemistry
- Physical Chemistry
- Business
- Law
- Biochemical
- Geochemistry
- Education
- Technical Writing
- Information Specialists/Technical Libraries
