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 the LETU labs, and our strong emphasis on undergraduate research puts our students ahead of the competition.
The Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry prepares students for industrial work in chemistry, for graduate studies, or for 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.
