- Biology
The program in Biology is broad-based with many career options. The hallmark of the program is a core set of courses that all students must take, thus assuring uniformity in the basic fields of biology. Students could choose a career in one of the following fields: pharmacy, medicine, optometry, environmental science, physical therapy, chiropractic, dentistry, physician assistant, teaching, podiatry and other fields as qualified.
- Biology Teaching Area
The Biology Teaching Area is very similar to the Biology Area, but education courses are added into the curriculum and the electives ensure broad knowledge so that the studeing is able to teach broadly within the discipline.
- Biomedical Chemistry Area
The Biomedical Chemistry Area is somewhat the mirror image of the Biomedical Sciences Area, except that it is for students interested in Chemistry. Chemistry students pursuing this degree will be prepared for health-professional school, a career in biomedical chemistry, or entry into graduate school in a biomedical chemistry area.
- Biomedical Sciences Area
The biomedical sciences area was developed specifically for students intent on attending a health professional school, pursuing a career in biomedicine, or pursuing graduate education in biomedical disciplines. The courses are heavily weighted toward biomedical subjects.
- Chemistry
The Chemistry program is diverse, allowing students choices such as pursuing a degree in the health-care industry, working as an environmental chemist, or entering graduate school. The Chemistry Area Concentration possesses great depth and prepares students for a career in chemistry whereas the Chemistry Major usually prepare students for a field related to chemistry, such as pharmacy, optometry, medical or teaching.
- Chemistry Teaching Major
The Chemistry Teaching Major is similar to the General Chemistry Major, except that education courses are added to the curriculum.
- Environmental Chemistry Major
The Environmental Chemistry Major was expressly designed for students that want to pursue careers in environmental chemistry immediately after graduation, or that want to go to graduate school in Environmental Chemistry.
- General Chemistry Major
General Chemistry Major is a broad degree in chemistry and is useful for many different career choices. Many students in the pre-health careers opt for this degree because they would like to have a Major/Minor rather than an Area degree. Students wanting to pursue a career in chemistry may also take this, though it does not have the same depth as the Professional Chemistry Area.
- Professional Chemistry Area
The professional Chemistry Area is designed for students interested in pursuing a career in a chemistry laboratory, industrial, government or academic.
