除了BS Ed。，学生还可以选择完成其本科学历的学士学位或BS学位，然后进入研究生院攻读硕士课程的教学证书。教育学院有一个为期一年的研究生证书加速课程，称为“ Teach in 12”，或者学生可以选择传统的认证途径。研究生的认证课程可以申请其他中等课程，以申请中学教育的硕士学位。该部门获得了美国化学学会的认可。完成BS学位（化学或生物化学选修）的学生已获得美国化学学会的认证。BS学位是化学专业学位，获得BS学位的学生为化学行业的职业或化学研究生做好了充分的准备。该系为本科生提供了参与正在进行的研究项目的
The B.S. degree offered by the department is certified by the American Chemical Society. Students completing the B.S. degree (chemistry or biochemistry option) are certified by the American Chemical Society. The B.S. degree is the professional degree in chemistry, and students who earn the B.S. degree are well prepared for a career in the chemical industry or for graduate work in chemistry. The department provides opportunities for undergraduates to become involved in ongoing research projects. The B.A. degree with an emphasis in biochemistry is especially suited for pre-health students such as pre-medical, pre-dental, or pre-pharmacy students.<br>The department also offers graduate work leading to the M.S. or Ph.D. degree in chemistry with most graduate courses being scheduled in the evening. A student may earn a M.S. degree with or without a thesis. The non-thesis option provides a convenient way for students who are employed full-time to earn an advanced degree. The department also offers a non-thesis M.S. with a professional science emphasis. This option includes 9 credit hours of business courses and an internship practicum.<br>Research leading to a M.S. thesis or Ph.D. dissertation may be conducted in one of five emphasis areas, namely, analytical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, or biochemistry. The nature of the graduate program allows each student to receive individualized attention from hisher research mentor, and to develop hands-on experience with major instrumentation in the department.
