CHEMISTRY
Bachelor of Science
Chemistry, an experimental discipline based on observation guided by molecular
theory, is of fundamental importance in much of modern science and technology.
Its molecular concepts form the basis for ideas about complex material behavior.
Due to the fundamental nature and extensive application of chemistry, an
unusually large variety of challenging opportunities to contribute in the
science-oriented community are open to students whose education is built
around the principles of this discipline.
The curriculum, through
the career requirement options and the large number of electives, provides
students the opportunity to select a coherent program of study beyond the
basic courses. Career requirement options are provided for students anticipating
graduate study in chemistry or related fields; employment following the
BS degree in laboratory, production, technical sales, or management positions;
professional studies (e.g., medicine); chemical physics; geochemistry; and
employment in fields requiring extensive preparation in courses other than
sciences (e.g., patent law and technical writing). Significant features
of the curriculum are the studentís extensive participation in experimental
work and the opportunity to take part in a research investigation during
the junior and senior years.
