化学与物质的性质和组成以及它们所经历的转化有关。由于化学是许多职业的基础科学，因此提供了两个本科学位课程和三个集中课程，以提供专业所需的灵活性。这些学位是BS和BA学位。BS学位和BA学位至少需要124小时。该部门还提供MS和博士学位。研究生学位。其他专业的学生可以通过在22个小时的化学课程中取得至少2.00的平均水平，其中14分以上的高等课程课程获得至少11的平均水平，而修读MSU的化学课程中的最少11则获得化学课程的辅修课程。
The Department of Chemistry offers two degree programs: the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) and the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degrees. A total of 124 hours is required to complete each degree program. Our chemistry degree programs provide an excellent foundation for career paths in graduate school, teaching, medicine, pharmacy, dental, and numerous industry positions.<br><br>The B.S. degree program offers three additional concentrations: the American Chemical Society (ACS) concentration, the Pre-Medical concentration, and the Pre-Pharmacy concentration. The ACS concentration is designed to prepare graduates for a career in industry or to further their education through graduate studies. The American Chemical Society (ACS) has continually approved the department and its curriculum since 1941, certifying degrees earned by completing the B.S. degree with the ACS concentration. The Pre-Medical concentration is intended to aid students in meeting medical school pre-requisites. This concentration combines required biology courses with specific chemistry courses designed to prepare students for the rigors of medical schools, dental schools, or other professional schools. Our Pre-Medical concentration is based on the pre-requisites required by the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC). The Pre-Pharmacy concentration is designed to meet the pre-requisites for the School of Pharmacy at the University of Mississippi. These requirements mirror those of other pharmacy schools, but students who wish to attend other pharmacy schools should communicate this information to their advisor.
