BS Chemistry

The Bachelor of Science Program in Chemistry is approved as having met the requirements set forth by the Committee on Professional Training of the American Chemical Society.

Graduates of this program are eligible to receive certification from the American Chemical Society. The Chemistry and Biochemistry Department is one of twelve departments within the State System of Higher Education to have this prestigious affiliation.

The study of matter and its changes is known as chemistry. Understanding how atoms join to form molecules and bulk materials, how molecular structure and interactions translate into macroscopic material qualities, and how chemical reactions can be exploited to produce useful materials and store energy are all topics that chemists strive to understand at the molecular level.

Numerous other subjects, such as biology, physics, environmental science, geology, material science, medicine, and more, are intersected by research in chemistry.
