The Chemistry Major offers five concentrations: Environmental, Forensic, Health Sciences, Materials, and Sustainable. Below are the Chemistry Major Checklists broken up into the concentrations.

• Environmental
  • Environmental chemistry is the application of chemical principles to the study of the natural environment, including air, water, land, and the biosphere. This concentration is recommended for students who wish to pursue a career in environmental management, or in the fundamental study of environmental systems. This concentration is also suitable for students planning to attend law or professional school or pursue graduate studies in environmental chemistry.
• Forensic
  • Forensic chemistry is the application of chemical analysis principles to criminal investigation. Students interested in pursuing careers in the laboratory analysis of forensic evidence or criminal investigation, attend law school, or study forensic science in graduate school are recommended to choose this concentration.
• Health Sciences
  • The health science concentration compliments a students’ chemistry knowledge with content from biology, anatomy, physiology, and microbiology. This concentration is recommended for students who wish to pursue a career in the medical, veterinary, pharmacy, dentistry, and allied fields. The additional course work is designed to enable students to fulfill the prerequisite requirements for health sciences professional programs.
• Materials
  • Chemists study the atomic and molecular structure of physical matter and analyze how it changes. Materials chemists study large and/or extended materials without defined molecular bounds such as polymers and extended inorganic solids. More specifically, they investigate how atoms and molecules may be combined to create materials that can produce useful or improved products. They also develop methods to measure materials properties such as strength and conductivity, enabling insight into a range of processes solar photo conversion, renewable plastics, energy storage, and drug delivery.
• Sustainable
  • The sustainable chemistry concentration is recommended for students who wish to pursue a career in the interdisciplinary field of sustainability, including renewable energy, green materials, pollution control, and waste remediation. Because sustainability requires that chemists be well rounded, students will take courses that develop an understanding of the social, economic, and environmental pillars of sustainability as well as the intrinsic interconnectedness of these areas.
