If the complexity and order of chemical processes intrigues and amazes you, you might be a future chemistry major.
Our chemistry majors gain hands-on experience in LETU labs, and our strong emphasis on undergraduate research puts our students ahead of the competition—research at the undergraduate level is a rarity.
The Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry prepares students for industrial work in chemistry, graduate studies, or medical school through the biology concentration and participation in the Pre-medical Program.
Industrial chemists and chemical engineers are needed in polymer studies, air and water quality work, quality control, and research and development.
