The Chemistry and Biochemistry Department provides students with an excellent foundation in chemistry, encompassing both theoretical concepts and practical applications, and prepares them for the next step in their chosen career paths.

A chemistry background serves as a foundation for many careers in seemingly "nontechnical" areas, areas in which a technical background would give you a great advantage. For example, sales and management positions in the pharmaceutical industry or administrative positions in government laboratories would be attractive to individuals with both chemical and business training.
