- B.S. in Chemical Science degree provides exposure to all sub-disciplines in Chemistry, but allows more flexibility in course selection than the BS Chemistry degree. Undergraduate research is an option, but not a requirement. The major is directed towards students with interdisciplinary interests who are not planning to either attend a traditional graduate program in chemistry or to find immediate employment in the chemical industry. It is good preparation for those planning to attend graduate school in an interdisciplinary field where chemical knowledge will be beneficial, and for students interested in chemistry but planning to pursue post-graduate degrees in the Health Sciences.
