Bachelor of Science/Master of Science in Chemistry

Chemists work to discover new compounds and reactions that lead to the development of new drugs, plastics, energy sources and various other materials such as paints, adhesives, cosmetics, pesticides, and others. Chemists work in various fields, including environmental science, measuring and reducing pollution, medicine, contributing to advances in disease diagnosis and treatment, agriculture, food processing, and many other areas and industries. Chemists work as scientists in various testing and research laboratories. Graduates have many employment opportunities as: technicians in biotechnology, environmental, pharmaceutical, clinical, and forensic testing laboratories, research assistants in industrial, government and academic labs, technical sales and service for chemical and other related industries, high school chemistry/science teachers (licensure required), Bachelor graduates also pursue advanced degrees to receive doctorates in medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, and veterinary science, or pursue master's and Ph.D. degrees in chemistry or a related science.

For the students in the 4 plus 1 program, the B.S. is awarded after the completion of a minimum of 120 credit hours and all General Education, University, College and Major Field requirements, as is the case for students in the conventional B.S. programs. The M.S. degree is earned after the students have completed a minimum of 32 graduate credit hours and all coursework required of students in the conventional M.S. in program. Students who have been admitted to the 41 program after the completion of 90 hours, but fail to meet subsequent program requirements (GPA 3.0) revert to conventional student status and must meet all B.S. in Chemistry requirements. Since the 4plus 1 program in Chemistry allows at least 21 credits of Chemistry electives, the double-counted classes taken at the graduate level can be applied towards their BS degree. They may then re-apply to the conventional M.S. program. If admitted, these students are subject to conventional M.S. program policies and requirements.
