CHEMISTRY

Undergraduate Study: A program is offered for the Chemistry major that leads to the Bachelor of Science degree. The Tuskegee University program is designed to prepare students for entry into graduate study, professional health-related schools or governmental or industrial employment as chemists. The curriculum required of a chemistry major provides general education courses in addition to the chemistry core courses.

The undergraduate program is approved by the American Chemical Society, Committee on Professional Training, 1155-16th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20036, (202) 872-4589. Students majoring in Chemistry who complete selected additional requirements receive certification from the American Chemical Society.

The Chemistry Department in cooperation with other areas has developed several dual majors for students preparing for careers requiring interdisciplinary studies. Such dual majors exist in Biology/Chemistry, Physics/Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Chemistry. Students seeking a dual major must receive approval from both departments involved.
