The Chemistry major prepares a student for any of several
choices after graduation: graduate school in some branch of chemistry;
professional school in pharmacy, medicine, veterinary science, or
dentistry; immediate employment as a chemist or technician; and secondary
teaching. Normally, a minimum of two chemistry courses will be taken
each year. A strong high school preparation in natural science and
mathematics is expected of potential chemistry majors.
