Chemistry

Students completing a degree in Chemistry are expected to leave with foundational knowledge in special computer programs and online research strategies in the preparation of laboratory reports. An upper-division course project with minimal direction will be expected. Students will have the skills to perform both written and oral presentations and take discipline specific American Chemical Society examinations.

In addition, students graduating with a degree in chemistry have well-developed communication skills, teamwork abilities, and problem solving capabilities with good critical thinking skills. Graduates will be prepared for a variety of jobs within the field of chemistry along with other various careers and graduate studies that will require these types of skills.

Students are encouraged to conduct research with the guidance of a faculty member providing for one-on-one mentorship and assistance. Students are given the opportunity to showcase research projects at the annual Undergraduate Symposium through academic research posters, oral presentations, or other project mediums. These students are often accepted into reputable medical and pharmacy schools and graduate programs across the nation.
