Bachelor's Degree in Chemistry
Research with some of industry’s brightest minds as you prepare for a career in one of the most applicable fields of science.
Bridging the gap between the life sciences and physical sciences, we live among the discoveries and creations of chemists: from the synthetic fabrics we wear, to the detergents used to wash them, from pharmaceuticals to plastics, cleaner fuels to more abundant food.
In Stevens’ chemistry program, you’ll learn the fundamentals of biochemistry, organic, inorganic, analytical and physical chemistry and explore advanced concepts such as drug discovery, medicinal and computational chemistry – all areas where Stevens has unique strengths. Additional coursework in areas such as instrumental analysis, professional ethics, and chemical dynamics will prepare you with laboratory skills needed for careers in industry and research.
Our department is led by faculty with valuable industry experience. Our programs’ three distinguishing features – a research-focused core curriculum, technology emphasis, and contemporary societal context – provide the skills necessary to successfully complete research projects as well as define your career path. Through the accelerated master’s program, you can earn a bachelor’s and master’s degree in just five years
Home to Dr. Irving Langmuir, a former Stevens faculty member and winner of the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1932 for his discoveries and investigations in surface chemistry, the chemistry program continues to be led by faculty who have valuable industry and research experience and play leading roles in many areas of chemistry including computational, analytical, and organic chemistry.
The Stevens chemistry program is approved by the American Chemical Society (ACS).
