Overview
Field of Study: Chemistry
Division: Traditional Undergraduate
Location: Quincy, MA
Options: Major
Degrees: B.A.
In addition to the rigorous nature of our courses, we provide students with the opportunity to get involved in hands-on, cutting edge research with our faculty. Most schools do not allow students to participate in research until their junior year; however, at Eastern Nazarene College, freshmen and sophomores are afforded this opportunity as well. In addition to conducting research with faculty, students are involved in independent projects that encourage them to venture outside of their comfort zones and think like scientists. This learning methodology is carried through into their senior year when they conduct and present a senior research project for the community. Upon graduation, many students either continue their studies in graduate school or apply to medical or pharmacy school.
Career Paths
A degree in chemistry prepares students for a career in industry or academia. Examples include the pharmaceutical, polymer, and nanomaterials industries. The major is also designed to prepare students for medical school.
Over the past 15 years, majors in chemistry and biochemistry have had a 100% acceptance rate into graduate school, including the University of Massachusetts, Case Western University, Temple University, Indiana University, University of New Hampshire, Emory University, University of Connecticut, Georgia Tech, and University of Pittsburgh. Other students are employed with companies like Genzyme, the world’s third-largest biotechnology firm.
Outcomes
Upon completion of the BA in Chemistry degree, graduates will be able to:
- Achieve a passing grade on a standardized examination covering the foundational knowledge and scientific principles of their chosen subject area.
- Have the academic and technical background necessary to successfully enter graduate school and/or professional employment related to chemistry.
- Gather and organize scientific data, analyze it, evaluate its meaning and develop models for interpreting scientific phenomena.
- Make observations, formulate questions and hypothesis, make predictions and make accurate scientific measurements in an investigative setting.
- Investigate a specific real-world problem, propose a creative solution, attempt the solution and present the results in both written and verbal forms.
