B.S. in Chemistry - Secondary Education Concentration

Collaboration is the heart of our chemistry program. Our teaching philosophy is to foster a colleague relationship between you and our faculty. For example, classroom lectures are active learning environments where you work directly with faculty on problem solving skills. You will also partner with faculty on undergraduate research opportunities, lab teaching assistantships, and service projects. To succeed in chemistry, be ready to work hard and develop an aptitude for critical thinking and problem solving. But don’t worry; it’s not all work and no play. Our chemistry majors enjoy a dedicated hang-out area and spend lots of time having fun and working on projects with faculty members in this close-knit department. The Science Center has been designed with the student/faculty collaboration in mind, with dedicated research spaces and an awesome student study zone.
