The Department of Chemistry offers
courses of study leading to either a bachelor of science
degree, a bachelor of arts degree or a minor in chemistry.
Students satisfying the requirements of the Bachelor of
Science degree will be certified by the American Chemical
Society.
Students who major in chemistry are qualified for many
pursuits. They may choose to work in chemical industry;
continue advanced studies in chemistry; take professional
training in medicine, dentistry or other health-related
fields; prepare to teach at the secondary level; or pursue
opportunities in related fields such as environmental
science, forensics, business and industry.
Elon's chemistry program provides the opportunity for
students to engage with faculty in undergraduate research and
to gain direct experience with new instrumentation using
today's state-of-the-art technology. The results of this
research are presented at local, regional and national
scientific meetings.
Another key feature of the program is the introduction and
use of instrumentation in the first-year general chemistry
sequence and its continued emphasis throughout the chemistry
curriculum. Student participation in assisting in laboratory
instruction is strongly advised and supported.
