Program description: The Bachelor of Science in Chemistry is offered with an Environmental Chemistry Option. The Bachelor of Science in Chemistry degree program is certified by the American Chemical Society. The Environmental Chemistry Option will prepare students for careers in government or the private sector as environmental chemists, or for graduate school in environmental science.
In addition to basic and advanced chemistry courses, additional courses in environmental chemistry and related areas are included (e.g., atmospheric science, geochemistry). The chemistry department also offers a regular Bachelor of Science degree with a major in chemistry for students who are planning careers in the chemical industry, teaching, agriculture, environmental science, or health sciences.
This B.S. is more flexible than the ACS-certified degree. Undergraduate research, including field research in environmental chemistry, is strongly encouraged.
