Curricula
The department offers six undergraduate programs which lead to a Bachelor of Science Degree in either Chemistry or Biochemistry or Forensic Chemistry or Physics or Chemistry Education or Nanoscience. These degrees are designed for those students who wish to pursue graduate studies in biochemistry or biomedical sciences or forensics or chemistry or physics or material science related fields, attend professional schools or work as laboratory chemists or physicists. A Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemistry Education is offered to those students who plan to become high school chemistry teachers. A master’s degree in general science education in Chemistry is also offered.
Our department also offers Chemistry Minor and Biochemistry Minor programs to provide students with a foundational understanding of chemistry, enhancing their careers in various fields, including medicine, engineering, and research, without requiring a full chemistry major.
