Chemical Science

The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in chemical science degree is for students who wish to make use of chemistry in future employment but are not primarily interested in becoming professional chemists. This degree is geared toward careers in the chemical industry which require a knowledge of business.

To complete the B.S. degree in chemical science, 34 semester hours of chemistry are required as well as eight semester hours of physics and six semester hours of mathematics. Students work for two semesters with a chemistry faculty member on a research problem.

The graduate who has completed the B.S. in chemical science program will possess the necessary background for medical or dental school if the one-year course in General Biology has also been taken.
