Chemistry (including Pre-Medical)
The chemistry major offers two programs of study: general chemistry and chemistry pre-medical
In choosing one program students must consult with an appropriate program adviser early in their course of studies. An academic minor is not required, but may be taken as an option. In such cases, chemistry majors may not select the natural science minor.
Students following the general chemistry program are provided with a foundation for graduate study in chemistry or preparation for a career as a professional chemist in industry and research. This program also prepares students for secondary school teaching and to careers in medicine such as dentistry, optometry and other health related vocations.
The chemistry pre-medical program is for students who do not wish to pursue the general chemistry track but are planning to continue their education in the medical field. In addition, this program also prepares students for employment in industry and research.
