Chemistry Major Study Plans

A Bachelor of Science in Chemistry provides a variety of options for you upon graduation. The vast majority of our majors (75%) graduate with a biochemistry concentration. Approximately 40% of our majors seek health-related professional programs, 40% seek graduate school in chemistry or biochemistry, and 20% join the workforce. We have a significant number of sample study plans, or four-year schedules, based on a variety of career interests. Keep in mind that these study plans are samples as core courses can be easily switched. Your academic advisor will assist you with your schedule so you are able to stay on track while tailoring your schedule around you.

Interested in receiving an ACS certified degree? Sample schedules for the chemistry major and chemistry major with biochemistry concentration are shown above. The general requirements for a certified degree can be found here.

If you are interested in studying abroad, the chemistry major and the chemistry major with biochemistry concentration allow room in your schedule to be able to do so. Here are sample study plans for allowing room in your 4-year schedule to study abroad:

We have several program partnerships that allow our students to complete their undergraduate degree from ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½ and advanced degree at another institution in an accelerated time frame.
