This major provides a solid background in chemistry and gives students the skills needed for success in industry and professional or graduate programs in chemistry or related areas. Sufficient flexibility in course selection allows students to tailor a suitable program without sacrificing scientific rigor. Each student in the program also has the opportunity to participate in research with a member of the faculty.
For the B.S. degree in Chemistry, a minimum of 124 credits is required. Each student must earn at least a grade of C in each 300- and 400-level course in the major field and must have earned a minimum 2.00 grade-point average.
