Chemistry - BS

If you want to discover what things are made of, become a chemist and find out.

Why study chemistry at Pitt-Bradford?

Because you’ll get personalized attention and support from your chemistry professors (they’re internationally recognized experts) who will guide you every step of the way.

You’ll also have opportunities to get hands-on experience to prepare for your career. Conduct research with your professors. Apply what you learn in well-equipped labs. Serve as a chemistry intern at a local industry. We have strong connections with local industries, so we can help you secure an internship.
 

What will I learn?

As a chemistry student, you'll work with the latest equipment and software. Equipment like the Fourier Transform-Infrared Spectrometer. It provides a “fingerprint” identification for unknown compounds. You'll get to use Wave Function software for Computational Chemistry that visualizes the structure of complex molecules. You can also write and present research findings at national meetings. Maybe you'll get it published.
