BS Chemistry at Texas A&M University

Programme overview

The Bachelor of Science (BS) in Chemistry program is arranged so that students obtain a comprehensive, solid foundation in all of the major branches of chemistry, combined with a suitable measure of individual flexibility. The latter objective is met in part by a strong emphasis on involving the undergraduate BS chemistry major in exciting, innovative, state-of-the-art research programs. Students in the BS program may become involved in research as early as their first year and continue this until graduation. Students frequently receive research scholarships and fellowships, which include opportunities for summer research programs.
