The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry offers
Bachelor of Science degrees in chemistry and biochemistry.
A Bachelor of Arts degree in biochemistry is also offered. The
department works with the Department of Curriculum and
Instruction to offer teacher certification in chemistry and in
physical science. A "fast-track" cooperative degree in
biochemistry is available for students who wish to enter
professional school after three years at ACU (see the Inter-
disciplinary section of the catalog (page 155)). A minor in
chemistry may be added to other majors.
Introduction
The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry has the finest
facilities, including more than a dozen undergraduate and
research laboratories, and an outstanding faculty. The under-
graduate program has been approved by the American
Chemical Society (ACS) since 1971.
A major in chemistry or biochemistry prepares a student for a
wide variety of work opportunities. Advancing the frontiers of
chemical and biochemical knowledge through research can be
accomplished in an academic or industrial setting. Alumni
teach chemistry and other sciences at any level from grade
school through university. Chemists and biochemists work in
areas of biotechnology, polymers, forensics, environmental
monitoring and remediation, as well as in the petroleum,
pharmaceutical and manufacturing industries.
Health professions such as medicine and dentistry require an
understanding of chemistry and biochemistry as a basis for
advanced study. More than 100 practicing doctors and dentists
majored in chemistry or biochemistry at ACU as a part of their
pre-professional training. In addition, law schools and business
