The Bachelor of Science in Chemistry combines in-depth study of chemical principles with laboratory and analytical experience. Certified by the American Chemical Society, the program connects chemistry to applications in materials, medicine, energy, the environment and more. Opportunities to work alongside faculty on research projects puts that knowledge into practice.
As part of the program, you'll complete a required undergraduate research project with a faculty research group, culminating in a scientific report modeled after a peer-reviewed publication.
