Bachelors in Chemistry

Our chemistry major provides undergraduates with exceptional academic opportunities, prepares students for employment or graduate school and allows students to perform research under the guidance of the faculty. As early as your first year, you'll have the chance to conduct original research using advanced scientific instruments right here on campus. That kind of hands-on lab experience is often reserved for graduate students at larger institutions. And, thanks to Naperville's proximity to Chicago, you'll have easy access to BP, Ecolabs, Baxter Healthcare, PerkinElmer and other companies that value chemistry expertise. After completing our American Chemical Society-approved major, you will be prepared to pursue graduate studies with top-tier institutions.
