Students in the Industrial Chemistry Technology program are trained in general, organic, analytical and instrumental chemistry. In addition, specialty classes focus on the chemical industry, safety issues and statistical process control. The Industrial Chemistry Technology courses also provide an excellent gateway into other science-based majors, including biology, chemistry, optometry, and pharmacy. This program is designed to give students the improved laboratory skills and analytical abilities that will help them to excel in other four-year programs. All classes are taught by faculty with many years of experience in industrial chemistry. The Ferris Industrial Chemistry Technology program is one of only a few such programs approved by the American Chemical Society.
