|
The Bachelor of Science in Chemistry is approved by the Committee on Professional Training of the American Chemical Society. It is designed to train students to go directly into positions in the chemical industry or to enter graduate study leading to positions in research and college teaching. A student in the Bachelor of Science in Chemistry program should, at the earliest opportunity, ask the Arts and Sciences Advising Center for assignment of a faculty advisor in the Department of Chemistry. For further information, contact the Head of Department of Chemistry, 552 Buehler Hall.
