Bachelor of Science (B.S.)
Total Credits Required: 120
The B.S. in Chemistry is a 120-credit program covering matter, reactions, and laboratory technique. It is designed for lab-coat types — would-be pharmacists, researchers, and students bound for medicine, forensics, or industry.
The program combines a progressive chemistry sequence with physics or earth science and mathematics, with sustained bench work: technique, safety, and accurate records are treated as first-class skills.
Together, these requirements are intended to prepare students for laboratory and industry roles, and continued study in chemistry, medicine, or forensic science.
