Program Details

Our Bachelor of Science in Chemistry program is ideal for students interested in exploring all areas of chemistry, as well as being exposed to biochemistry. You’ll put to practice what you learn in the classroom through laboratory experiences. Each is guided by your professor to help you gain personal attention and professional skills before you graduate.

Pre-Professional Programs

Many of our chemistry students go on to professional school after graduation. To help with this transition, we offer an array of pre-professional programs in the healthcare and medical field.

Prepared for grad school and beyond.

Many of our graduates go on to masters and PhD programs in science. Studying chemistry is ideal for entry into engineering programs, medical-related fields, forensics, and material, nuclear, agricultural, and environmental sciences.

Other UJ graduates pursue teaching, both at the high school and college level, or work in:

  • Crime Labs
  • The FDA
  • The Military
  • Industries as Analytical Chemists
  • Research
  • Chemical Engineering Industries

Gain real-life experience

Upon graduation, you'll be ready to work in the field of your choice or expand your knowledge in graduate school. Chemistry majors can gain experience beyond the classroom through:

Laboratory Work

Our students develop their abilities to conduct experiments and engage in research through laboratory work in cell biology, analytical chemistry, organic chemistry, and microbiology.

Internships

More experience = a better career! Our community support helps you gain professional development opportunities – many of which are available for credit. Our students gain experience by working with local dentists, veterinarians, and healthcare clinics.

Technical Preperation

Chemistry majors can serve as teaching assistants and work in lab preparation at UJ.

“My professors were really invested in their classes and their students—they wanted me to succeed, and they sought out ways to do that. I don’t think that’s widespread. The professor-to-class relationship was just so strong at UJ.â€

Our Faculty

You'll get to know your chemistry professors, both in and outside of the classroom, from day one.

Tuition and Financial Aid

We believe every student, regardless of their financial situation, should have access to a UJ education. 100% of our full-time undergraduate students have some type of financial aid, with scholarship packages starting at $8,000 minimum. Your counselor for admissions personally walks you through financial aid, including the process of filing a FAFSA, maximizing your eligibility for aid, and answering any questions you may have along the way.
