The Department of Chemistry offers degree programs which provide undergraduate and graduate students with core instruction and excellent research opportunities. Senior research projects are common.
The department regularly revises its curriculum to keep pace with the rapid expansion of knowledge of chemistry. Undergraduate programs leading to the B.S. and B.A. degrees are offered. The B.S. degree is intended for persons preparing for careers in chemistry and satisfies the guidelines for a chemistry degree recommended by the American Chemical Society. The B.A. degree is designed for students who wish a concentration of course work in chemistry, but who have career plans in the health sciences, business or law. In addition, a chemistry minor is available for students who want a broader exposure to the chemical sciences. Graduate programs are offered leading to the Master of Arts, Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry.
