Chemistry
Why choose the Chemistry Program?
An undergraduate Chemistry degree is designed to produce graduates who are confident, knowledgeable, and well prepared to meet the challenges and demands encountered by the professional chemist. Chemistry, available as a major or minor, prepares students for entrance into the chemical industry, medical technology, and graduate and medical schools in such areas as osteopathic, veterinary, dental, and pharmacy. Chemistry graduates also go on to teach science in middle and secondary schools (see Middle–Secondary Education). As our society accelerates into a technology-oriented economy, job opportunities for Chemistry majors are increasing.
