Bachelor of Science in Chemistry - Bioprocess Chemistry

At SIUE, students learn from faculty members who have earned national and international reputations in their respective areas of expertise. Well-equipped laboratories provide hands-on opportunities where students learn about the disciplines in chemistry and biochemistry. Through the department’s research programs, students also gain experience in the most current techniques to help prepare them for their future career.The Department of Chemistry is housed in a recently constructed science building featuring state-of-the-art teaching and research labs with equipment that rivals what is available at PhD-granting institutions. Our students are encouraged to regularly interact with experts in the field and to begin their research experiences early in their academic career in order to get as much hands-on experience as possible. The combination of research experience and faculty interaction ensure our students are well prepared to begin their career or attend graduate school. This degree focuses mainly on Bioprocess Chemistry specialization.

Students seeking a bachelor’s degree from SIUE who have never attended a college or university, and those who may have taken some coursework at a college or university outside the U.S. but do not currently hold a bachelor’s degree must submit official records showing grades for all years of secondary/high school AND official exam results or certificate/diploma. Applicants who have attempted at least 30 semester hours (or 45 quarter hours) of college-level transfer credit (either from the U.S. or abroad) are not required to provide secondary school records.
