The Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry, certified by the American Chemical Society (ACS), emphasizes laboratory skills and independent research beyond that required of the Bachelor of Arts and is designed to prepare graduates for graduate school, medical school, and chemistry-related positions in business, government and industry.

All degrees in Chemistry are designed to stimulate analytical reasoning and encourage a discriminating approach to problem-solving. All degrees provide a working knowledge in chemistry and the skills to pursue careers in chemistry and related fields.

CHEM 450 may not be counted as an elective/ credit hours toward the Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry major.
