Students in the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences (SEBS) may choose the major in chemistry, which is offered by the School of Arts and Sciences (SAS). The major provides broad and comprehensive training in all areas of modern chemistry and leads to a bachelor of arts degree in chemistry. The curriculum is designed to permit the student a wide range of career choices, including, but not limited to, chemistry, medicine, law, business, chemical physics, environmental science, and secondary school teaching.
A core of courses is required for the completion of the major in chemistry, including coursework in the four major subdisciplines of chemistry--inorganic, organic, physical, and analytical--as well as work in mathematics and physics. Within the program, several options permit students to select an area of concentration that reflects their particular interests and goals.
