Bachelor of Science - Chemistry

The Bachelor of Science in chemistry includes study matter and its transformation. Chemists conduct research and experiments to discover new concepts about the universe. They try to solve society's problems, whether by developing a cure for cancer, monitoring the earth's ozone layer, creating new materials to heat people homes, or pursuing countless other challenges.

The knowledge students will gain through the study of chemistry at University of Massachusetts Dartmouth will open the door to many different career opportunities within the five divisions of chemistry: analytical, biological, inorganic, organic, or physical. They will be prepared for chemistry careers in education, forensics, government, law, industry, medicine, or research.

The chemistry major prepares learners for employment in many areas of the chemical industry and graduate study in most pure and applied chemistry areas, such as organic, inorganic, physical, analytical, polymer, forensic chemistry, pharmacy or the health professional programs.
