Prepare yourself for industrial or government laboratory work or graduate work in chemistry or biochemistry.
The Chemistry program prepares you for industrial or government laboratory work or graduate work in chemistry or biochemistry. The Chemistry emphasis provides a strong foundation if you want to enter the professional health fields, especially the pre-professional programs such as pre-medical, pre-dental, pharmacy and medical technology. The Geochemistry emphasis couples a solid foundation in analytical chemistry with the deductive thinking skills, three-dimensional visualization skills, and fundamental understanding of earth materials that the earth sciences offer. Students graduating with this major are prepared for careers in the geo-technical industry as well as continuing their education in a graduate program in the environmental earth sciences. Students may also complete courses required for secondary teaching certification.
