Study Level

Undergraduate

The Chemistry curriculum is designed to provide a sound theoretical background in the principles of chemistry complemented by hands-on laboratory experiences. Students have the opportunity to acquire skills in spectrophotometric, chromatographic, and advanced instrumentation methods as well as perform synthesis and characterization of organic and inorganic compounds. Career Opportunities A baccalaureate degree in chemistry provides graduates with diverse career opportunities and also prepares them for advanced studies in chemistry and related fields. Our graduates are employed as chemical research associates in industrial, governmental, clinical, and environmental settings. Others pursue a career teaching chemistry or in chemical sales. Many of our graduates pursue advanced degrees in chemistry, biochemistry, medical sciences, and other related disciplines. Chemistry Major Objectives Upon completing this program, a Chemistry major will be able to: Perform accurate stoichiometric and chemical equilibrium calculations. Predict and explain the reactivity of an organic or inorganic compound from a knowledge of its structure. Assess the thermodynamic and kinetic stability of a chemical system. Propose a reasonable mechanism for an organic or inorganic reaction. Apply basic quantum mechanical concepts to the study of chemical systems. Synthesize and characterize inorganic and organic compounds. Design and perform a qualitative and quantitative analysis of a sample of matter, using both wet and instrumental methods. Plan and execute experiments through the proper use of library resources. Analyze data statistically and assess reliability of results. Communicate effectively through oral and written reports.
