Bachelor of Science (B.S) in Chemistry

University of Texas - Arlington

The Chemistry and Biochemistry Department is a vibrant, young, and growing department with 20 tenured and tenure-track faculty advising over 90 full-time graduate students, 20 or more postdoctoral fellows and visiting scientists, and a host of undergraduates getting their first exposure to scientific research at the highest level. We have active research programs in analytical, organic, biochemistry, physical, and inorganic chemistry, with most faculty having research programs that cross over traditional divisional boundaries. We are well-equipped to perform top-level research in all traditional and interdisciplinary chemistry-based fields. The BA/BS in chemistry provides students a solid foundation in chemistry with in-depth lab experience in analytical and organic chemistry. Chemistry students will learn instrumentation and synthetic methods using state-of-the-art instrumentation. In addition, students will develop critical thinking skills, communication skills, and collaboration skills crucial for career success. We recommend the BS in chemistry for undergraduates wanting to pursue graduate study in chemistry or careers in the chemical industry. Students who wish to teach chemistry in secondary education can pursue the BA in chemistry.
