该系积极参与1999年在奥尔巴尼大学设立的Ronald E. McNair学士学位后成就计划，其目标是提高代表性不足和少数族裔学生的博士学位。合格的学生一旦被录取，可以在化学系教师的监督和指导下进行夏季研究。我们努力为学生提供现代化学和生物化学方面的广泛教育，并提供各种机会来更深入地探索专业教育和研究。在过去的一年中，该系在我们既定的教学和研究计划的基础上，开始了多项新举措。在本科阶段，我们采用了一种新方法来教授普通化学（Achm 120）。从去年夏天开始，我们为新入学的学生提供了预备性在线课程ALEKS
The Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry program is a combined major and minor sequence consisting of 55 credits. With courses in chemistry, physics and mathematics, the curriculum is designed to give you the tools to think analytically, solve problems and create novel materials. Through coursework and labs you will be prepared to enroll in graduate studies or pursue a profession in areas including medicine, pharmacology, physical therapy and medical technology with a bachelor's in chemistry from the University at Albany. Explore how and why molecules and atoms interact with energy to make up the universe. You will learn how to create new compounds, materials and agents that could potentially improve health, protect the environment or even conserve energy.
