Chemistry is the inquisitive science in search of understanding the nature of reactions in our bodies and the world around us. Chemistry is entering the lives of each of us more intimately through alternative fuels, high temperature superconductors, and the search for a genetic switch to immortality. Tomorrow’s world is the world of chemistry. A chemistry degree gives you the opportunity of studying a wide variety of specialized chemical fields, such as:
Biochemistry
Astrochemistry
Environmental chemistry
Forensic chemistry
Polymer chemistry
Quantum chemistry
Why a B.S. Degree in Chemistry?
If you’re interested in understanding the nature of reactions in our bodies and the world around us, then a bachelor’s degree in Chemistry could be for you. Dedicated faculty and unique out-of-the-classroom learning experiences will help you reach your future career goals, whether it’s practicing medicine, conducting chemical research, or teaching others.
