The Bachelor of Science in Chemistry degree program provides graduates a wide range of career opportunities. Graduates of the B.S. in Chemistry who complete either the general Chemistry, Biochemistry, or Pharmacy options find employment in industry, government agencies, and non-profit organizations. Types of work include basic research, applied research, analytical services, product development, marketing and sales, and manufacturing. Persons who wish to become professional chemists should select the Chemistry option or the Chemistry option certified by the American Chemical Society. Persons desiring to become practicing biochemists should select the Biochemistry option or the Biochemistry option certified by the American Chemical Society. Both are recommended for students wishing to enter graduate school or seek employment in the chemical industry immediately upon graduation. The Pharmacy option targets those students who seek a career as a pharmacist (Pharm.D.) or pharmacologist (Ph.D.) but would also benefit students who wish to work in the pharmaceutical or biotech industries at the B.S. or M.S. level. The Pharmacy option is also useful to those students who are seeking careers in forensic pharmacology, pharmaceutical sales, or as certified pharmacy technicians, pharmacy assistants, and other healthcare professionals. The Science/ChemistryTeacher Education option is designed to prepare students to become licensed to teach high school science with a specialization in Chemistry.
