Chemistry is the study of how the universe works on the molecular level. Often called the central science, chemistry is at the intersection of physics, biology, medicine, geology, and other sciences. From developing renewable energy sources to formulating drugs to fight superbugs and cancer, chemists are at the center of solving the most pressing problems facing humanity. Our chemists-in training apply the theories from the classroom to hands-on techniques and problem solving in the laboratory.

Biochemistry

The Biochemistry track is recommended for those students wanting to go on to medical, dental, pharmacy and other health-related pre-professional occupations, and those interested in working in chemical industries with emphasis in biotechnology and pharmaceutics, which would require a strong background in biochemistry.

Business Management

The Business Management track is recommended for students who plan to pursue careers in industry, government, law, sales or other areas where business and administrative skills could enhance success in the field. It could also provide the basis for further studies in either the field of chemistry or business. Graduates of this program will have a seamless transition in the business of science and will have completed the required courses for entry into the MBA program.

Traditional

Through the study of general, organic, analytical and physical chemistry, students studying within this discipline will be prepared for professional employment in industry, academia, government, non-profit and entrepreneurship or continued higher education in graduate or professional programs.
