Program description
Chemists are needed in every scientific discipline because their work has an impact on everything from the air we breathe to the energy we use to the cutting-edge materials that make up our modern world.
Learn chemistry from every angle and get a firm grasp on the basics of analytical, organic, inorganic, and physical chemistry. Students are actively engaged in research and outreach, and they are given enough opportunities to gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge scientific equipment.
Jobs for College Grads
Graduates of chemistry programs find work in a wide variety of industries, including those related to information technology and communication, the production of food and beverages, mining and metallurgy, the chemical industry, the pharmaceutical industry, the plastics industry, and the paper industry. They are also used in the fields of education, forensics, mineral analysis, public health, R&D support for the resource industry, waste management, water and air quality management, and the creation of technical and analytical information.
