The B.S. in Chemistry provides a solid foundation in chemistry through courses in organic, analytical, physical, inorganic and polymer chemistry, as well as biochemistry. You will also take supporting courses such as calculus and calculus-based physics. During the senior year, you'll have the chance to perform research with a faculty member or choose to take advanced courses. A graduate in Chemistry will be expected to be able to:Understand and apply calculations needed in the chemical sciences for preparing and analyzing solutions and samples.Master common laboratory analytical techniques and skills needed for the qualitative and quantitative identification of unknown chemical samples.Understand the particulate nature of matter and how electromagnetic radiation interacts with matter.Read scientific papers and instructions and use this information to carry out experiments. Prepare for a career in high school chemistry education. You will learn to convey chemistry topics with in-depth understanding and real-world examples. This option is designed to coordinate with the UTEACH program and practicum experience leading to an initial teaching license.
