Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Chemistry] From Bethel University

At Bethel, courses in organic, analytical, physical, inorganic, and biochemistry are taught by professors who have doctoral degrees and ongoing research in each specific area.

Chemistry is the central science, built on the fundamentals of mathematics and physics and applied in biology and biochemistry. Students learn how to think independently, solve problems, and gain a broad understanding of the principles that underlie the natural world.

Students have the opportunity for an education that is second-to-none, working alongside professors focused on teaching courses for and research with undergraduate students. This challenging degree is pursued within a supportive, Christian environment.

All chemistry majors participate in both a junior and senior research project in collaboration with one of?our 9 faculty, including presenting their results at regional and national conferences. Many students participate in full-time paid summer research at Bethel or are accepted into research and internship positions across the country. Students will use state-of-the-art instrumentation (including a high-field NMR spectrometer) in their courses and research. The Chemistry Department also offers a History of Science study-abroad course in Europe every January.
