Chemistry, Biological Concentration

If the complexity and order of chemical processes intrigues and amazes you, you might be a future chemistry major.

Our chemistry majors gain hands-on experience in LETU labs, and our strong emphasis on undergraduate research puts our students ahead of the competition—research at the undergraduate level is a rarity.

Marisa Trosen, 2019 Chemistry with a Biological Concentration graduate. She is teaching chemistry (and also a little physics and math) at The King's Christian School. "Teaching chemistry has been a dream of mine since my junior year of college so I am so thankful for this opportunity!”

The Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry prepares students for industrial work in chemistry, graduate studies, or medical school through the biology concentration and participation in the Pre-medical Program.

Industrial chemists and chemical engineers are needed in polymer studies, air and water quality work, quality control, and research and development.
