Bachelor of Science in Chemistry
Kettering University offers a rigorous chemistry degree consistent with the guidelines for degree certification by the American Chemical Society which ensures our graduates obtain a solid chemical foundation. Students in the chemistry program take courses and laboratories in all of the major chemical sub-disciplines including organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, analytical chemistry and biochemistry. During their senior year, chemistry majors take advanced chemistry courses in specialized areas and work closely with a faculty member on a research project. This allows them to gain a deeper insight into the sub-area(s) in chemistry of their choice.
A chemistry degree provides an excellent foundation for careers in traditional chemistry areas as well as many in non-traditional areas such as technical management, education, technical writing, sales, business, and law.
