The Chemistry major follows a curriculum that helps students acquire a strong foundation in basic concepts and principles of modern chemistry while gaining an appreciation of chemistry’s central role in society. All courses are taught and all research is facilitated by faculty members who are generous with their time and knowledge. Students can expect individual attention in their small lecture and laboratory classes. The course work is designed to help the student develop the critical thinking, problem-solving, laboratory, computer, data acquisition and analysis, and research skills needed to be successful in their future endeavors. The LECOM Pre-Medical Concentration meets the demands of the students who plan to supplement the bachelor’s degree by enrolling in the LECOM Medical School.
To obtain an ACS certified degree you must take the following classes with the associated laboratories: CHEM 121, 122, 192, 221, 222, 251, 292, 321, 323, 324, 392, 398/399 OR 499, 405, and 3 additional CHEM electives, two of which must have a lab (305, 308, 322, 401, 404, 407, 410, 501).
