• Bachelor of Science in Chemistry at the University of California Los Angeles is a 4-year program.
  • It is an on-campus program offered on a full-time basis.
  • Chemistry is concerned with the composition, structure, and properties of substances, and transformations of these substances into others by reactions.
  • The department is organized in four interrelated and overlapping subdisciplines that deal primarily with the chemistry of inorganic substances (inorganic chemistry), the chemistry of carbon compounds (organic chemistry), the chemistry of living systems (biochemistry), and the physical behavior of substances in relation to their structures and chemical properties (physical chemistry).
  • There are two concentrations in this program chemistry and physical chemistry.
  • The UCLA Chemistry and Biochemistry Department has a tradition of excellence and is ranked among the best in the country, as evidenced by the quality of its programs, the caliber of its faculty, and the excellence of its students.
