UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS
Chemistry
Chemistry is often known as the central science,
bridging the gap between the life sciences and physical science, and
ranging from the very practical to the highly theoretical. It is the
science of matter - its structure, its properties and how it changes.
All around us we see the discoveries of
chemistry: synthetic fabrics, aspirin, penicillin and other
pharmaceuticals, detergents, better fuels, plastics and more abundant
food. Chemists enjoy the excitement and rewards of discovery and
creation.
Career opportunities exist in research (creating
new knowledge or synthesizing new chemicals) or in quality control
(testing and analysis) in pharmaceuticals, petroleum, polymer and
plastics, paints and adhesives, electronic materials, waste treatment,
agricultural chemistry, and foods and fragrances, in addition to many
other industries. Chemists are employed in hospitals, clinical,
environmental control and criminology laboratories. Chemistry also
occupies a pivotal role in the high-technology areas of
bioinformatics, biotechnology, materials technology, ceramics,
polymers and electronic materials. The Stevens program prepares you
for employment with companies in these industries, and also meets the
admission requirements for graduate programs in chemistry or
biochemistry.
The program is based on a solid foundation in
the major areas of chemistry and biochemistry. Additional courses in
advanced chemistry are available in those areas in which Stevens has
unique strengths, such as polymer chemistry, natural products,
medicinal chemistry, biochemistry, structural chemistry and
instrumental analysis. Research is strongly encouraged due to its
importance in preparing for a career in chemistry; it also helps
develop independence in solving open-ended problems.
The Stevens chemistry program is certified by
the American Chemical Society (ACS). The course sequence for chemistry
is as follows:
