Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Chemistry] From Colorado Mesa University

?Students gain problem-solving skills that can be applied in chemistry labs, in other classes, and in day-to-day life. By having chemistry faculty with a diverse range of specialties (analytical chemistry, biochemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, and organic chemistry), chemistry majors have the opportunity to learn about each of these fields, and they are provided with a wide variety of research opportunities.?

Through research, students can synthesize new compounds and make other new scientific discoveries. In addition, chemistry students are trained to independently use modern instrumentation, including a 300 MHz NMR, liquid chromatography, mass spectrometer, and ICP atomic emission spectrophotometer. Our graduates have been successful in finding jobs in the chemical industry and secondary education, as well as being placed in graduate, pharmacy, and medical schools.?

Our graduates have completed PhD programs at the University of Denver, Arizona State University, University of Utah, and University of Wyoming in chemistry, biomedical engineering, and environmental engineering. The bachelor's degree in Chemistry culminates in two courses designed to bridge students? coursework with their entry into the workforce, a medical degree program, or graduate school.?

The Advanced Laboratory course helps students to synthesize knowledge from various chemical disciplines and apply it to solving chemical problems in a practical manner. This is similar to the type of process that they are likely to experience after graduation. Our Communicating in the World of Chemistry course couples with our Advanced Laboratory course to help students express themselves in a professional manner while applying for and entering their new positions.?
