Chemistry, B.S.

Note

Concentration is not necessary to be a Chemistry Major.

Biochemistry Concentration

This concentration of the chemistry major provides a curriculum well suited for students with interests at the intersection of biology and chemistry. This concentration is distributive and sets forth a curriculum geared toward professional careers and prepares students for entry into the biotechnology workforce or for graduate school in the biomedical sciences. Preprofessional students (premedicine, predentistry, prepharmacy) are encouraged to follow this program.

Forensic Chemistry Concentration

This concentration is designed to meet the minimum requirements for a student to attend a graduate program in forensic science, or to apply for a position in the drugs/toxicology or ballistics/trace evidence division of a forensic science lab (although each program may have additional requirements). This concentration fulfills a growing need for students who desire to enter into the chemical and physical aspects of forensics, a career that utilizes a hearty combination of chemistry, biology, calculus, and physics.

Forensic Biochemistry Concentration

This concentration is designed to meet the minimum requirements for a student to attend a graduate program in forensic science, or to apply for a position in the DNA/serology division of a forensic science lab (although each program may have additional requirements). This concentration fulfills a growing need for students who desire to enter into the biological aspect of forensics, a career that utilizes a hearty combination of chemistry, biology, calculus, and physics.
