Bachelor of Science in Chemistry - Professional

University of Idaho

Everything you see, touch or smell involves chemistry - whether natural or man-made. Chemists study the structure and behavior of substances and create entirely new ones to advance medicine, develop sustainable energy, improve materials and tackle global challenges. In this program, you’ll explore the core principles of chemistry: how substances interact, transform and follow the laws of nature. You’ll gain hands-on experience in research and build advanced analytical skills, preparing you to apply your knowledge in areas such as health care, environmental protection, national security, food safety, manufacturing and more. The professional option is accredited by the American Chemical Society (ACS) and offers a rigorous curriculum designed for students planning to enter the chemistry workforce or pursue graduate studies (M.S. or Ph.D.). This path follows a carefully structured course sequence with a strong emphasis on chemistry, math and the physical sciences, ensuring you meet national professional standards.
