Department of Chemistry

The department of chemistry offers degrees in both the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Chemistry programs are pre-professional in nature, and students planning to attend graduate school in chemistry or an allied science should elect the B.S. program in the college to which they have been admitted. The traditional B.A. program in the College of Arts and Sciences is not a pre-professional program and may be elected by students who do not plan to do graduate work in chemistry or allied sciences but who desire a stronger background in chemistry than is provided by a chemistry minor.

In addition to the traditional certified B.S. degree and B.A. degree, the B.A. and B.S. chemistry programs in the College of Arts and Sciences feature an alternative flexible curriculum, called ChemFlex, that enables a student to concentrate in a specific area. The concentrations possible for the B.S. are physical/analytical, polymers, and materials. The B.A. has two areas of concentration: business and the health professions.
