A challenging program approved by the American Chemical Society
As a chemistry major at Elon, you will explore this exciting and crucial field through an active curriculum that emphasizes the use of the most current technologies and instrumentation in the classroom, in laboratories and in undergraduate research.
I am continuously amazed at how my Elon education has allowed me to blend in with masters level forensic chemists. Being at my current job for a month now, I have realized how vital all of the professors at Elon have been in my education, and in my life as well.
