Chemistry, B.S.
Download PDF(50 - 52 credits)
The Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, under the Department of Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics, is designed to prepare students for industry, graduate school or professional school (including medicine, dentistry, and veterinary medicine). This is achieved through a broad-based education that includes exposure to major areas of chemistry including analytical, biochemistry, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry. In both the classroom setting and in the laboratory, students will interact directly with our chemistry faculty, taking advantage of our small student to faculty ratio.
This major meets the Connecticut State Department of Education requirements for those students enrolled in the initial teacher preparation program at Albertus Magnus College and are seeking a secondary level teacher certification with a chemistry endorsement. Contact the Department of Education and Teacher Preparation for additional information.
Upon completing the program of study in Chemistry, students will demonstrate:
- Competence in chemistry content and laboratory techniques.
- Written and oral communication skills.
- Information literacy skills.
- Proficiency in quantitative analysis.
- Critical thinking skills.
- Application of the scientific method and experimental design.
