The Chemistry Major with Foundations Concentration gives a broader range of chemistry background than the General Concentration, but less depth than the ACS-certified major. This major is often ideal for students planning for a career with a chemistry emphasis that might merge with another field, such as Environmental Science, Criminology (for forensics), or Biology. A minor or second major is required. Many of our students choose biology or another science as their minor. A minimum of 37 hours of chemistry is required for the major. The Foundations Concentration requires a minor or second major and is appropriate for a wide range of career targets. It provides a broad survey of chemistry, including a full year of organic chemistry and a semester each of analytical, inorganic, physical, and biochemistry. It is a common choice for students desiring employment in chemical industry and for those preparing for pharmacy school. The Foundations Concentration can be easily extended to the full ACS-Approved Major for students whose interests evolve to those requiring a more in-depth knowledge of the discipline.
