Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Chemistry Teaching Concentration] From University of Illinois

Undergraduates who wish to teach chemistry in secondary schools should elect the Chemistry Teacher Training program. Although this major provides a strong background in chemistry, it is usually inadequate preparation for industrial chemistry or chemical research. Students in this program who change their career goals can transfer into the Curriculum in Chemistry or the chemistry major in the Sciences and Letters Curriculum, as late as their third year or may elect a double degree program.

The undergraduate chemistry program at UIUC ranks among the largest in the USA in the number of majors, including ACS-approved bachelor's degrees. Our program is widely recognized by employers and graduate schools as one of the strongest in the U.S. We have an outstanding Career Services Office that arranges on-campus interviews for our graduates with a wide variety of the best chemical companies in the USA. Students who perform well in our program and wish to attend graduate school find that they are recruited by the top graduate schools in the country.
