Chemie (BS, BA, Nebenfach)

Chemistry is the “central science.” Such diverse subjects as art, anthropology, geology, biology, materials science, environmental science, nursing, pharmacy, dentistry, medicine, and psychology have areas in which fundamental principles and process details are understood in terms of chemistry.

Our undergraduate program offers BA and BS degrees with a BS/American Chemical Society certification option and with BS/emphases in biological and materials chemistry.

In addition to the traditional areas of analytical, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry, we have faculty in several fertile cross-disciplinary areas such as bioanalytical, bioorganic, and biophysical chemistry; electrochemistry; environmental chemistry, photochemistry, and materials chemistry.

Internships, Research Opportunities, and More

Undergraduate participation in research is actively encouraged. We also participate in a five-year Fast-Track Chemistry BA/Teaching Chemistry MAT program and we jointly sponsor the biochemistry degree program with the Department of Biological Sciences. Our facilities support a wide variety of research within and across the traditional boundaries. Our ties with the chemical industry and with government agencies stimulate the generation of new ideas while increasing the range of job opportunities open to our graduates.
