B.S. in Chemistry

Find your future in the applied field of chemistry. You can choose your pathway within the broad spectrum of modern chemical sciences along with classmates who will become doctors, pharmacists, and other specialists.

What you'll study

Test the fundamentals and applications of chemical and scientific theories by performing experiments using modern instrumentation and classical chemical techniques. Learn how to communicate research results, solve problems, think critically, reason analytically, and explore new areas of research. Beyond the extensive training in chemistry, you'll gain grounding in calculus, physics and biology. Depending upon your goals, you may choose the track aligned with the American Chemical Society.

How you'll learn more

The exceptional lab facilities at NSU put cutting edge technology in your hands, and you'll gain personal attention because of our low student-to-faculty ratio. You can earn credits in guided laboratory research while learning how to retrieve data from published sources to find answers for issues relating to chemistry.  Plus, present and publish your own research. With most health related fields represented at NSU, you'll gain exposure to the application of chemistry in health care.

Where it can take you

Our technology-driven society needs more scientists. You can forge a path into careers in industry, education and government, and the pursuit of graduate degrees in chemistry and other fields such as medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, optometry, anesthesiology assistant, environmental protection, law, forensic sciences, and nutrition. Wherever you go, you'll be in the driver's seat.
