The Department of Chemistry and Food Science
is
unique in
that it offers strong majors in
both Chemistry and Food Science. The
programs complement
each other, producing
Food Science majors with an exceptionally
strong background in chemistry and providing
Chemistry majors with the opportunity to
take electives in more
applied areas such as
food chemistry, food engineering, and food
analysis. Undergraduate
research
opportunities are
also enhanced by the
combination of these program areas.

One of the three chemistry concentrations is
approved by the American Chemical
Society (ACS);
the other chemistry concentrations may be
taken along with a
Secondary Education
minor.
The ACS-approved curriculum allows
flexibility to specialize in a particular area through choice of the elective,
the advanced course, and the senior research project. The two other chemistry
options require a minor to be taken concurrently. The General Chemistry
concentration requires a minor in secondary education or one of the following
areas: business, computer science, earth science, or mathematics. The
Biochemistry concentration requires a minor in secondary education or one of the
following areas: biology, business, communication arts, journalism, mathematics,
or nutrition. Two concentrations are possible with the Food Science major: Food
Science and Technology and Applied Food Science; the latter concentration
requires a concurrent minor in biology, business, or nutrition. An excellent
undergraduate education is provided by the structured curriculum for both the
Chemistry major and for the Food Science major coupled with a strong general
education component. The strength of these programs is clearly indicated by the
excellent graduate school placement and achievement records and by the
employment opportunities enjoyed by Department graduates.
