A major in chemistry is designed to provide students with professional competency in chemistry supported by courses in mathematics, physics and biology. In addition to the acquisition of a basic knowledge of science, students will develop skills in critical thinking, laboratory techniques, interpretation of observations, and clear expression of ideas. Undergraduate research is an integral part of the educational program. 

A major in biological chemistry is designed to provide a fundamental core of chemistry courses and a background in modern biology. This major is appropriate for planning a career in the biochemical or pharmaceutical industry and planning continued studies in medicine, dentistry, biochemistry, pharmacology, and related fields. 

The major in chemistry and mathematics is designed as a dual major with the primary interest in chemistry. Students whose primary interest is in mathematics may elect this major through the Mathematics and Computer Science Department.
