Bachelor of Science in Chemistry

The Chemistry Major is intended to give students exposure to all areas of chemistry, as well as a solid grounding in general education and a community learning focus. The program also encompasses an optional concentration: Analytical Biochemistry with a strong focus on preparing students for future research or careers in biochemistry laboratories. This major has a strong experiential learning component, both in terms of course-based lab experiences and in Community Service Learning (CSL). These CSL-rich courses are one of the defining features of the program. They promote team-based approaches as learners engage with questions pertinent to their communities. The intention is to provide junior students with research experiences early in their academic careers, while senior students apply their subject matter expertise in a more advanced role. This real-world team-based problem solving will help prepare learners for the types of projects they will face in their future careers.
