Chemistry - Cameron University

Chemistry from Cameron University is a Campus Bachelor Chemistry degree that prepares you for a Science career. Chemistry is central to the study of all modern sciences and is therefore prerequisite to and required by many separate disciplines, even for their introductory courses. Since chemistry as a discipline is designed and structured as a vertical hierarchy (each course follows another and the preceding course is a required prerequisite) it is important to start the study of chemistry early in your college career. A basic year to two years of chemistry are required for entry into most allied health programs such as pharmacy, medical technology, physical and occupational therapy, radiological technology, biotechnology, and environmental sciences. A Bachelor's degree in chemistry may be used to enter industry, teach, fulfill requirements for pre-professional programs such as medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, optometry, chemical engineering, and to enter graduate school for the further study of forensic science, chemistry , biochemistry, molecular biology, environmental science and other advanced programs. At Cameron University there are two basic options for a chemistry program. Each option dictates to some extent the recommended minor and student decision of which option to choose should be based upon their long term occupational goal. There are several possible goals that are not addressed here and that should be discussed further with an advisor. The traditional chemistry program, which uses the Physical Chemistry option (described in the degree outline), will fit most economically (that is fastest, with minimal financial investment) into a Bachelor's degree program with a minor in Mathematics. This is the recommended course of study for those wishing to prepare for industry, engineering, and graduate study. The Biochemistry option is a nontraditional approach and will fit most economically into a Bachelor's degree program with a minor in Biology. This is the recommended course of study for those wishing to prepare for careers in the health industries (Medicine, Osteopathy, Optometry, Dentistry, Veterinary Medicine) because it overlaps and fulfills almost all pre-professional admission requirements as part of the degree plan. Either set of optional courses may be taken in part or in whole as electives in the other program. View more details on Cameron University .
