The department of Chemistry, Biochemistry and Physics offers a five-year program that allows qualified students to attain a Bachelor of Science degree in biochemistry and a Master of Science degree in chemistry with a pharmaceutical chemistry concentration. The department offers ACS-certified B.S. in Chemistry degree in addition to the M.S. in Chemistry. Also available are several concentrations at the undergraduate and graduate levels in addition to undergraduate minor programs. Our department is extremely well-equipped with modern instruments including 300 MHz NMR, liquid chromatography, GC-MS, high resolution FTIR, and Raman equipment. The B.S. in Chemistry program is the primary degree for entry into the chemical and pharmaceutical industry and also for graduate programs in chemistry, biochemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, bio-medical engineering, and many other areas. This degree program is especially suitable for potential applicants to professional schools in medicine, pharmacy, and veterinary medicine. Pre-med students usually take the MCAT exam in their junior years after completing organic chemistry.
