Description
The major in chemistry meets American Chemical Society certification standards. BS graduates in chemistry work in laboratories developing pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, energy resources, solutions to environmental problems, and other areas of modern industry. A chemistry bachelor’s degree is also excellent preparation for professional schools of medicine or dentistry, especially with the increasing dependence of medical research and practice on knowledge of living systems at the molecular level. With the M.S. or Ph.D., a scientist can take responsibility for planning research and supervising laboratories. Excellent career opportunities are found in private industry, in government laboratories, and on college and university faculties. Students who are on the 3+2 Engineering Track should take CHEM 216 instead of CHEM 226. The B.S. in Chemistry without CHEM 226 no longer achieves American Chemical Society (ACS) Certification .
