About the Department
The Chemistry and Biochemistry Department, administratively situated within the College of Science, enrolls approximately 400 undergraduate majors and 25 graduate students. The department has 17 tenure-track faculty members, 16 part-time temporary instructors, and 7 staff members. Each year, we graduate between 30-50 majors.
The Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry has three program options that permit students to tailor their curriculum choices to fit their career goals. These three options are: American Chemical Society (ACS) option, Biochemistry option, and the General option. The ACS option leads to a degree certified by the American Chemical Society. Our MS degree in Chemistry requires original research with a thesis.
