Chemistry Major
Bachelor of Science

1. ACS-Approved Emphasis is especially suited for students planning on graduate work or desiring the best preparation for industrial employment.
   Upon completion of this emphasis, students will:
   • Develop an advanced understanding in multiple fields of chemistry.
   • Develop an independent research project, acquire and analyze data, and present the results at an off-campus professional meeting.
2. Forensic Science Emphasis is a multidisciplinary program designed to train students
   in the analysis of physical and chemical case evidence and the associated legal implications.
   Upon completion of this emphasis, students will:
   • Understand the basic definitions, concepts and relationships of criminalistics.
   • Understand intake, transport and biochemical processes of toxins in the human
     body.
   • Gain expertise in the collection and analysis of evidence specific to forensic science.
   • Develop an independent research project, acquire and analyze data, and present the
     results at Celebrate Carroll.
3. Pre-Health Science/Professional Emphasis is for those students who plan to pursue
   professional work in an allied health field such as medicine, dentistry, optometry, or
   veterinary science or pursue an industrial career.
   Upon completion of this emphasis, students will:
   • Develop an advanced understanding in a particular field of chemistry.
   • Be able to obtain work-related career experience in an industrial, corporate or
     medical setting.
