Chemistry Programs

Our department offers a wide variety of undergraduate coursesÌýto prepare students for careers in chemistry and to provide the chemical understanding required for a variety of other fields.Ìý AÌýTwo Year ScheduleÌýshowing what semesters specific classes will be offered is available.ÌýAn overview of the chemistry program is provided by this document that tracksÌýthe courses of all three chemistry degree programs.

Chemistry courses offer a unique challenge for many students.Ìý Here are someÌýtips for succeeding in a college chemistry course.

The following degree plans are available through С²ÝÓ°Ôº Chemistry:

BS Degree in Chemistry with minor (student’s choice): A model plan of studyÌýand aÌýchecksheetÌýare available. This BS degree in Chemistry prepares students for a variety of careers that require an in-depth understanding of chemical principles. This track is favored by students who want a minor farther removed from the natural sciences (i.e. foreign languages, business, psychology) or one that is closely aligned with chemistry (like biology, math, or physics). Also available is a 3-year plan of study that includes summer school.

BS in Environmental Science – Chemistry emphasis: A model plan of studyÌýand a checksheetÌýare available for a degree in environmental science that emphasizes the study of chemical aspects of this field.
