An undergraduate chemistry major takes one of two tracks: a traditional Chemistry track or an alternative Biochemistry track that also serves Pre-Med/Pre-Dent/Pre-Vet/Pre-Pharm students. Both tracks are ACS certified. During the junior year, students in the traditional track take more mathematics and upper division chemistry courses. Students in the Biochemistry track supplement their core chemistry courses with biological sciences, biochemistry, cell biology, genetics, and comparative anatomy, which also prepare them for the MCAT and DAT exams.

Graduate chemistry students can earn an M.S. or Ph. D. in the interdisciplinary Molecular Sciences and Nanotechnology programs or a Ph.D. in the interdisciplinary Computational Analysis and Modeling program.

Chemistry program faculty members work very closely with students in the classroom, and in teaching and research laboratories. A significant number of chemistry majors participate in research with faculty members, with some students starting in their sophomore year.
