1998-1999 - The University of Scranton

CHEMISTRY-BUSINESS
The Chemistry-Business major combines theoretical and technical instruction in chemistry with management
training in business. Graduates of this program will be concerned not only with chemical research
and technological development but also with management problems in science-related industries.
Most chemistry majors tend to be research-oriented although almost half of the approximately 100,000
chemists employed in American private industry are engaged in work other than research and development:
management, marketing and sales. This combined degree was formulated to prepare chemists to assume
these latter responsibilities.
From the point of view of the business student, almost one-third of all business graduates can expect to
be employed in a chemistry related field: pharmaceuticals, plastics, petroleum, etc. Most business majors
employed in such industries must develop, often on their own, the technical knowledge needed to understand
their company’s operations and products. A fundamental background in chemistry as provided in this
concentration is a distinct advantage to individuals planning such a career.
