Chemistry - Lehigh University

Chemistry from Lehigh University is a Campus Bachelor Chemistry degree that prepares you for a Science career. No other basic science touches and shapes as many aspects of modern society as does chemistry . The department of chemistry integrates these aspects with a strong foundation in chemistry with particular strengths in surface and interface chemistry and bio-organic chemistry . Chemistry students enjoy lab projects and science seminars, and research opportunities are available for all students. The chemistry and biochemistry B.S. programs are pre-professional in nature and attractive to pre-med students, as well as to those who wish to pursue chemistry. The biochemistry degree may be declared in either the chemistry or biological sciences department. Students who do not wish to pursue graduate study in chemistry may elect the B.A. program. Concentration in biochemistry takes place in the junior and senior years. Facilities and Related Opportunities Undergraduates use state-of-the-art equipment. A $1.2 million electron spectrometer for chemical analysis (ESCA) is one of 10 in the world. No other instrument approaches its ability to discriminate the chemical characteristics of a surface. The department's nuclear magnetic resonance imaging facility also is unique. As a research-intensive department, sophisticated instrumentation is used by undergraduates in research and teaching laboratory settings. Employment for bachelor's chemists is strong because they provide the backbone for such industries as catalysts, pharmaceuticals, plastics, paper, electronics, agriculture, clinical and forensic labs, and environmental protection. Also, chemistry is the strongest preparation for graduate studies in health-related disciplines, materials, polymers, environmental studies and chemistry. About half of our majors go on to graduate school. View more details on Lehigh University . Ask your questions and apply online for this program or find other related Chemistry courses.
