Bachelor's Degree in Chemistry

Students majoring in chemistry at CU complete foundational coursework introducing each of the five major branches of chemistry: Analytical chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, physical chemistry, and inorganic chemistry. Selection of flexible advanced coursework in chemistry or other sciences allows our graduates to become multi-disciplinary specialists by completing one or more elective concentrations: Biochemistry (pre-medicine; a block of electives integrating biology and chemistry designed for pre-Medical studies or a double major with biology); Geochemistry (a block of electives integrating geology and chemistry for environmental careers or a double major with environmental geosciences); Professional Chemistry (a block of courses in chemistry and physics for professional careers in chemistry, research, and graduate school admissions); or 3+1 Health Sciences (pre-Pharmacy and pre-Clinical Lab Science; a program integrating a senior-year, off-campus residency at a School of Pharmacy or School of Medical Technology.)
