Experiences in Chemistry

a classroom

The bachelor of science degree with major in chemistry explores the complex ways the elements on the periodic table combine. In classroom- and laboratory-based coursework, students learn the fundamental properties of matter, examine periodic trends, and analyze molecular conditions for both organic and inorganic compounds. Students may be required to participate in the chemistry readiness program in preparation for college-level coursework. Students may be involved in research initiatives spanning analytical, inorganic, organic, physical, and biological chemistry. Teacher certification in grades seven through twelve is available. Internships, membership in student organizations, and opportunities to participate in Education Abroad or Study in America are available options for gaining both network and professional job force skills.
