Bachelor of Science in Chemistry (Bothell)

All of life is made of atoms and molecules. UW Bothell chemists explore the atomic and molecular nature of the world in order to understand life and the universe, our impacts on the environment, and how to make the world better. We also make a lot of liquid nitrogen ice cream. The Bachelor of Science in Chemistry (general option) allows students to pursue a rigorous curriculum focused on the atomic and molecular nature of the world around us. The degree includes the traditional areas of chemistry (organic, inorganic, physical, and analytical) and several modern interdisciplinary areas, including biochemistry, computational chemistry, atmospheric chemistry, and electro-analytical chemistry.
