Chemistry - D'Youville College

Chemistry from D'Youville College is a Campus Bachelor Chemistry degree that prepares you for a Science career. Chemistry at D'Youville Chemistry is often referred to as the ?central science? because it provides a crucial link uniting the insights of other scientific disciplines such as physics, biology, and geology. But it is much more than that: it is also a pathway to a deep understanding of the world around us, and it demands that we think about this world in a precise and creative fashion. As a member of the community of chemists, a truly international community, we explore together the physical universe and try to fashion it in the service of our fellow human beings. In so doing we enhance our scientific appreciation of nature, and we confront the human issues which attend upon our scientific age. The chemistry major at D'Youville thoroughly prepares you in the traditional foundational areas of chemistry: inorganic, organic, physical, analytical and biochemistry. But the structure of our major also provides you with time to think, time to pursue your interests in other fields where chemistry has an impact; not just the other sciences, but also business, education, law, medicine and the liberal arts. For example, if you want, to teach in a secondary school, you can take education courses, and, by adding a 5th year, leave D'Youville with a bachelors in chemistry and a Masters in Education. Our flexible major requirements, as well as our small classes and laboratory sections, will enable you to reflect upon yourself: what you are and what you want to be, and to steer your life towards your dreams, all in an atmosphere of support and personal interaction with our dedicated and talented faculty. Careers in Chemistry Students often ask, ?What can I do with a degree in chemistry?? The more realistic question might be : ?What can't I do with it?? The opportunities for a graduate with a degree in chemistry are almost limitless. You can teach high school. You can enter into industry. You can go to graduate school and become a university professor or a senior researcher in an industrial R&D lab. But these common outcomes represent only a small fraction of the opportunities for chemists. A chemistry degree can prepare you for post graduate work in medicine, dentistry, business or law. Fields such as patent law, international law, environmental law, pharmaceutical sales and management are all accessible to students who begin their education with a chemistry degree. Many students are interested in science but are uncomfortable with the idea of a career devoted solely to teaching and research. But the opportunities for chemists extend far beyond these traditional fields into areas limited only by one's imagination. Law enforcement (forensic chemistry), museums, wineries, cosmetics, foods and beverages, archaeology, science writing, and agriculture, as well as law and business are all occupational areas which employ chemists.
