化学系提供了两个学士学位（化学学士学位和生物化学专业的化学学士学位），并获得了美国化学学会（ACS）的认证。该部门还提供两个类似的非认证BS学位，与ACS认证的学位相比，它们的课程负荷会稍有减少。修读该系四个学士学位中的任何一个的学生都为将来的研究生学习做好了充分的准备，部分原因是因为将本科生研究纳入了这些学位的课程。为了满足北卡罗来纳州的要求，在中学阶段（9-12年级）教授化学，学生必须完成化学专业和中学辅修课程。取得学士学位的化学专业包括32个化学课时。
Chemistry is a discipline fundamental to a wide variety of careers in industry, research, and the allied health fields. A strong foundation in chemistry is necessary for careers in medicine, molecular biology, biochemistry, industrial or government research, pharmacy, high school teaching, and chemical engineering. A background in chemistry may also be useful for careers in chemical sales, industrial management, business administration, and environmental management. The Department of Chemistry offers two B.S. in Chemistry degree programs approved by the American Chemical Society (ACS), two non-ACS-certified B.S. degree programs and a research-based M.S. degree, which provide the background necessary for a career in industry or for further graduate studies in chemistry and related fields. In addition, a B.A. in Chemistry degree program is available for students who plan to pursue a career in chemical industry, secondary education, or professional studies in areas such as medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, and optometry. The Minor in Chemistry is offered for students who desire some experience in chemistry as an adjunct to their major. Programs leading to careers in pharmacy and chemical engineering are available in cooperation with other institutions.
