Bachelor in Chemistry

College of Arts and Science (C.A.S.) majors are doing exciting things, and here are just a few examples. In New Media classes, Art majors learn about graphic design incorporated with digital computer graphics, animation, visual art and internet art. Psychology students interpret and score intelligence, memory, neuropsychological and personality tests in our updated Psych Assessment Lab. Science majors can be found doing research in solid matrix luminescence. History majors may travel abroad to explore other countries such as Vietnam.

Whether you are going on to graduate school or directly to work after graduation, C.A.S. students are succeeding. In recent years, graduates in the sciences and psychology have been accepted to top medical schools; including Penn State, University of Minnesota and University of Washington as well as major graduate programs at universities such as University of Notre Dame and University of Utah.

The chemistry program is designed to be flexible enough to meet individual interests of students and comprehensive enough to be competitive nationally. A chemistry major can expect to find employment in private, state, or federal laboratories ranging from research and development to quality control. Course selection and/or selection of a minor can open additional choices in other fields such as biology, geology, business, or health sciences. Graduate education is encouraged as an avenue to expand career opportunities.
