The Department of Chemistry offers a variety of tracks leading to a Bachelor of Science with a Major in Chemistry degree. Students planning careers in chemical industry or graduate study in chemistry or biochemistry are recommended to obtain a degree certified by the American Chemical Society (ACS). The non-ACS tracks offer students the opportunity to develop a broad background in preparing for a variety of careers in the area of business, engineering, law, secondary education, or for entering professional school in medicine, dentistry, veterinary science, and pharmacy.

The following tracks are available for students wishing to pursue a Chemistry degree:

1. Bachelor of Science with a major in Chemistry (ACS Track)
2. Bachelor of Science with a major in Chemistry (Non-ACS Track - General Option)
3. Bachelor of Science with a major in Chemistry (Non-ACS Track - Business Option)
4. Bachelor of Science with a major in Chemistry (Non-ACS Track - Professional Preparation Option)
5. Bachelor of Science with a major in Chemistry (Non-ACS Track - Secondary Education Option)

All of the B.S. Chemistry degree tracks offer courses in the basic areas of analytical, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry and are supplemented by chemistry electives. Modern scientific instrumentation is available and incorporated into all courses of the curriculum.

Students may also elect to minor in chemistry.
