Degree outcomes
We hope to prepare our students to address chemical problems that have come to dominate the headlines of today’s news from nuclear to biomedical issues and everything in between. Our students have gone on to work in many fields including:
- chemical industrial research
- medicine (including doctors, physician assistants, and pharmacists)
- teaching (both secondary and college)
- energy and waste management
- biotechnology
