The Major Programs<br />
Chemistry studies the composition of matter, its structure,<br />
and the means by which it is converted from<br />
one form to another.<br />
The Program. The Department of Chemistry offers<br />
several degree programs leading to the Bachelor of<br />
Arts and the Bachelor of Science. The curriculum<br />
leading to the A.B. degree offers a substantive program<br />
in chemistry while allowing students the freedom<br />
to take more courses in other disciplines and<br />
pursue a broad liberal arts education. Students who<br />
have a deeper interest in chemistry normally elect<br />
one of the several programs leading to the B.S.<br />
degree. The standard B.S. program, which is<br />
accredited by the American Chemical Society, is<br />
appropriate for students who are interested in chemistry<br />
as a profession. The other B.S. programs provide<br />
emphasis in four areas of applied chemistry:<br />
chemical physics, environmental chemistry, forensic<br />
chemistry, and pharmaceutical chemistry. These<br />
emphases are slightly less intense in chemistry, and<br />
draw on significant course materials from areas that<br />
are relevant to the particular emphasis but outside of<br />
a classical chemistry degree. Students following the<br />
A.B or one of the B.S. programs may consider taking<br />
advantage of the Education Abroad Program. Faculty<br />
advisors can assist students in planning a curriculum<br />
while abroad that assures regular progress in<br />
the major. A minor program in chemistry is also<br />
available.<br />
Career Alternatives. Chemistry graduates with<br />
bachelor's degrees are employed extensively<br />
throughout various industries in quality control,<br />
research and development, production supervision,<br />
technical marketing, and other areas. The types of<br />
industries employing these graduates include chemical,<br />
energy, pharmaceutical, genetic engineering,<br />
biotechnology, food and beverage, petroleum and<br />
petrochemical, paper and textile, electronics and<br />
computer, and environmental and regulatory agencies.<br />
The bachelor's programs also provide chemistry<br />
graduates with the rigorous preparation needed<br />
for an advanced degree in chemistry and various<br />
professional schools in the health sciences.<br />
