Concentration in Chemistry
Students must earn a "C" or better in each course taken to fulfill a concentration requirement.
The chemistry concentration is designed for those ¼ø»Æʦapp who wish to go on to graduate school, medical school or who desire to work in industry.Ìý
The interdisciplinary curriculum will benefit ¼ø»Æʦapp who choose to pursue graduate studies in chemistry or other areas such as oceanography or environmental science.
