The Department of Chemistry offers a wide variety of undergraduate courses and programs in chemistry to prepare students for careers in chemistry and to provide the chemical understanding required for a variety of other fields. The degree awarded is a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. In order to achieve this, the faculty strives to establish and maintain a program of excellence that provides foundations and support for several different concentrations including: (1) the General Chemistry Concentration that includes selection of courses tailored towards pre-professional career choices, such as, pre-medicine, or pre-pharmacy; (2) ACS Certified Professional Concentration in Chemistry that is accredited by the American Chemical Society. The ACS certified concentration requires additional advanced coursework and hands-on experience in laboratory research; and (3) the Forensic Chemistry Concentration which includes a significant component of the General BS degree in chemistry requirements and a set of approved core of courses in biology and criminal justice. A minor in chemistry can be earned after completion of 18 or more credit hours of 200 level and above courses in chemistry.
