Environmental Chemistry
B.S.

Introduction

We offer a B.S. degree in Chemistry with a focus on Environmental Chemistry. o The courses and programs of study are aimed at preparing the scientists of the future.

Students in the undergraduate program in the Environmental Chemistry option take all the core chemistry courses as outlined on the chemistry curriculum. In their senior year, they take two lecture courses and one laboratory course in Environmental Chemistry:

FCH 510 Environmental Chemistry I -Aquatic Chemistry

FCH 511 Environmental Chemistry II - Atmospheric Chemistry

FCH 515 Methods of Environmental Chemical Analysis

A range of specialty courses are taught by our faculty and are offered at regular intervals: Urban Health, Oceanography, Aquatic Organic Chemistry, Stable Isotope Biogeochemistry, Advanced Environmental Analysis.

The senior year culminates in a senior research project undertaken under the supervision of one of the chemistry faculty. This give students the opportunity to experience research ranging from laboratory work to field-intensive studies.
