A Bachelor of Science Degree with a major in Chemistry is offered. After completion of the Chemistry core curriculum, the student chooses one of four concentrations: General for those students wishing to pursue careers as physicians, dentists, pharmacists or vets; Environmental for students interested in using chemistry to solve environmental problems; Biochemistry for students interested in the chemistry of living things; and Chemistry for students intending to go to enter graduate chemistry programs.
The Bachelor of Science/Chemistry degree offered by the Department of Physical and
Earth Sciences requires an overall minimum of 128 semester hours comprised of the
following sub-requirements: 38-42 hours chemistry including 12 hours 300/400 level
courses at JSU, a minor including 6 hours 300/400 level courses at JSU, 41 hours of
state-articulated general studies courses, 23 hours of support courses, and 52 hours of
300/400 level courses which include those required in the major and minor. Any hours
remaining to meet the 128 hours minimum or the 52 hours minimum 300/400 will be
classified as electives. A student must earn a minimum "C" or better in each of his/her
major and minor courses. Students entering Teacher Education must confer with the
department head concerning the program of study.
