Chemistry
Bachelor of Science - Area of Concentration in Professional Chemistry
A degree in Chemistry opens a wide variety of careers to a graduate. Careers in Chemistry involve such diverse areas as the development of new materials, environmental protection, and drug design. A Chemistry degree is frequently used as a preparation for entrance into law, medical, dental, veterinary, and pharmacy colleges. Students completing an area of concentration either continue on to graduate school or enter an industrial position directly upon graduation.
