Bachelor of Science (BS) in Chemistry (Pre-Med)
Chemistry is the scientific study of matter and its properties. Since matter is anything that has mass and occupies space, this means chemists are interested in just about everything. Through investigating the substances and reactions that occur in our world, you’ll better appreciate the scientific harmony that makes life possible.
A degree in chemistry will prepare you for a variety of career options, such as forensic science, laboratory science, or a variety of health-professional careers. It will also adequately prepare you to move on to graduate school once you have obtained your degree in Chemistry. This degree includes study of the five main branches of the sciences: organic, inorganic, biological, analytical, and physical.
