Chemistry deals with the analysis, structure, properties, and synthesis of matter ranging in size from single atoms to biologically active small molecules to DNA and proteins. A major in chemistry prepares students for many career options: industry (research, analysis, production), teaching, graduate studies, or professional schools.
The bachelor of science (BS) program offers two options: Professional, which is recommended for students planning graduate studies or professional careers in chemistry, and Chemical Biology, which is an excellent choice for students interested in a health-related professional school or employment in the industry. The bachelor of arts (BA) program is a broad chemistry major that pairs well with a minor or even a second major in other disciplines.
