Coordinator: Galen Sedo

Our Bachelor of Science in Chemistry is approved by the American Chemical Society. To be successful, a professional chemist requires a broad base of both scientific knowledge and professional skills. The guidelines for a certified bachelor’s degree, as defined by the ACS Committee on Professional Training, were developed specifically to prepare students for success in a broad array of careers. Independent of whether you intend to move into an industrial position, pursue graduate study in a chemical field, or enter into another professional career track that requires rigorous scientific training, you will benefit from being able to build on a strong background that includes chemical knowledge, laboratory competency and safe laboratory practices, oral and written communication skills, familiarity with the chemical literature, and experience with working both independently and as part of a team.
