Bachelor of Science – Education in Chemistry

 

The B.S. in EDUCATION in CHEMISTRY prepares the student for a career in teaching chemistry in secondary schools. The program gives the student experience in the major branches of chemistry so that, with proper selection of electives, graduate work in either pure chemistry or chemistry education can be pursued. Sufficient flexibility is provided so that the student also may become certified in general science.
