Another Successful Halloween Scavenger Hunt!

The Chemistry major follows a curriculum that provides a solid foundation in the facts and principles of the science with many practical applications through research and internships. There is a high degree of flexibility in the general plan of study and concentration in order to meet the demands of the following students: those who plan to supplement the bachelor's degree by attending graduate school or by enrolling in a professional program, like medical school; those who plan to complete their formal education with the bachelor's degree and obtain positions in industry or with the government; and those who plan careers in teaching. Careers open to the chemist are numerous.  Some examples include analytical chemistry, bio-chemistry, clinical chemistry, geochemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, spectroscopy, radio and nuclear chemistry, applied or basic research, chemical literature abstracting, technical writing, market research, sales, advertising, technical services, waste disposal, sanitary engineering, environmental science, forensic science, public health, and teaching.
