Bachelor of Science in Chemistry

University of Arizona

Chemistry is the study of the properties and reactions of the natural and synthetic substances that constitute the world around us. The Bachelor of Science in Chemistry brings together the disciplines of physics, materials science, medicine and biology to give students a strong theoretical background while teaching them how to apply that knowledge to a range of biological and physical systems. Coursework is enhanced by state-of-the-art research facilities with multi-user capabilities in computational chemistry, surface analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance and photoelectron spectroscopy, and more. Students are equipped to pursue graduate studies or careers in research, science education and engineering.LEARNING OUTCOMESAnalyze Select and apply appropriate methods to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze a complex chemical sample.Assess and Communicate Critically analyze and assess data and communicate arguments regarding their validity.Control Control the extent, rate, outcome, costs, and risks associated with chemical processes.Model Derive and/or apply reasonable chemical models for the composition, structure, and/or mechanism of a targeted system from experimental data.Synthesize and characterize Synthesize, isolate, and characterize chemical moieties based on a known chemical reaction/procedure.
