The Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry and the Forensic Science specialization prepare students for graduate studies or employment in a wide range of industrial and medical areas.

Students benefit from small classes and personal attention from the well-qualified faculty. They learn to operate a wide range of modern instruments, including a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrophotometer, ultraviolet-visible and infrared spectrophotometers, and gas-liquid and high pressure liquid chromatographs.

Students are encouraged to explore their individual interests and to work closely with professors on research projects. Students are often able to present the results of their research at national or regional meetings and to publish their works in scientific journals.

The Bachelor of Science in Education program prepares students to become high school chemistry teachers. The minor provides a second field for secondary education majors.
