CHEMBS - Chemistry

Bachelor of Science

College of Science

Undergraduate

Uncover the groundbreaking solutions and cutting-edge innovations that will help shape the future of science, technology, medicine and engineering. Chemistry is the study of the properties and reactions of the natural and synthetic substances that constitute the world around us. The Bachelor of Science in Chemistry brings together the disciplines of physics, materials science, medicine and biology to give students a strong theoretical background while teaching them how to apply that knowledge to a range of biological and physical systems. Coursework is enhanced by state-of-the-art research facilities with multi-user capabilities in computational chemistry, surface analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance and photoelectron spectroscopy, and more. Students are equipped to pursue graduate studies or careers in research, science education and engineering.
