B.S. in Chemistry

The B.S. in Chemistry provides the requisite background in the major disciplines of chemistry (analytical, inorganic, organic, and physical). In addition to the chemistry courses in traditional disciplines, Northeastern also offers specialized courses in environmental chemistry, medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, toxicology, and bio-organic chemistry. Students in the chemistry program have the opportunity to conduct research with the faculty or participate in internship programs at various institutions and industries.

Program Benefits

The B.S. in Chemistry is accredited by the American Chemical Society and meets the standards established by its Committee on Professional Training. The low student-to-instructor ratio translates into direct access to professors with diverse backgrounds and research interests.
