Baccalaureate Chemistry Degrees
We offer multiple bachelor of arts and bachelor of science options in Chemistry. The different degree options are distinguished by their emphases in different areas of science beyond chemistry.
To ensure timely graduation, students will need to meet regularly with an advisor as some required courses are offered on a rotating two-year basis.
