The Bachelor of Science in Chemistry prepares students for excellence in graduate or medical school, and employment in the chemical, biotechnological, or pharmaceutical industries. Students learn a wide array of topics in Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics. The program emphasizes the hands-on nature of chemistry in laboratory courses, giving students the tools that chemists need to pursue research. They also learn how to write scientific reports, analyze data, and place these results in a broader scientific context. Accomplished majors are encouraged to pursue independent research with a professor, and to present their work internally and at national meetings. The Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry and Bachelor of Science in Chemistry degree programs in Temple University's College of Science and Technology serve as the foundations for research-based fields, graduate degrees or a variety of careers in the sciences. Commonly known as a central science, chemical research has led to new discoveries in agriculture, manufacturing, medicine, technology and more. As a Chemistry Major, youll study analytical chemistry, biochemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry and physical chemistry, in addition to courses in the College of Science and Technology chemistry labs. Both degrees emphasize expertise to write scientific reports, investigation and problem-solving skills, laboratory skills in four of five subdivisions of chemistry, material from foundational course work in four of five subdivisions of chemical research, research and chemical literature, and the ability to analyze data and apply results in a broader scientific context and real-life situations.
