Chemistry Education (B.S.)
Make a lasting impact on the future of science.
Anything you touch, smell or see contains natural or synthetic chemicals. Chemistry is often referred to as the central science because of its strong connections to the other natural sciences and mathematics.
Chemistry is therefore an area of study that allows students vast opportunity to explore the unknown and to address some of human society’s most pressing scientific problems. Sparking high school students’ interest in chemistry sets them up for academic success and/or excellent careers in STEM fields. And let's be honest, chemistry teachers get to do the best demonstrations.
The chemistry education program will prepare students for careers in high-quality teaching of chemistry at the secondary/high school level.
