Students work with their faculty and representatives from Career Services to find career opportunities. Our students may elect to receive either a B.A. degree or a B.S. degree, both of which to incorporate the breadth of a liberal arts education.  The department has been certified by the American Chemical Society since 1969, which highlights the additional commitment to laboratory skills, modern instrumentation, and hands on experiences necessary for success in chemistry.  American Chemical Society certified degrees are awarded a B.S.

Chemistry is often described as the central science. A background of math and physics can be used to describe molecules and the biological systems these molecules make up. Chemistry relates to everything we do, everything we eat, everything we observe.
