The professional chemistry track includes coursework in biology, physics, mathematics, and computing and is excellent preparation for a career in an industrial or a government laboratory or for graduate study in chemistry. Especially important in this major are advanced laboratory courses, senior-level courses in advanced inorganic and advanced organic chemistry, and the individual research project.
The professional chemistry program bears the approval of the American Chemical Society's Committee on Professional Training.
