Objectives for the Program in Chemistry
The Bachelor of Science degree programs in chemistry are available for students who intend to pursue graduate studies, secondary school teaching, or a professional career in the chemical, pharmaceutical, biotechnology or related industry. The programs provide a strong background in the modern areas of chemistry including biochemistry with emphasis on hands-on laboratory work. They also provide the opportunity for exceptionally talented students to conduct independent research under the guidance of the faculty. The degree programs will also prepare students for further education in health sciences, such as medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, veterinary medicine, optometry and other health professions provided they take other pre-requisite courses.
Required Core Courses in Chemistry
Additional Requirement
Chemistry majors must earn a minimum grade of 2.0 in General Chemistry I and General Chemistry II. If a grade below 2.0 is earned in General Chemistry I, the course must be repeated before enrolling in General Chemistry II. Chemistry majors are limited to two attempts in General Chemistry I and two attempts in General Chemistry II including the grade of W.
