Bachelor of Science, Chemistry Major
This degree provides the strongest background for students pursuing a career in chemistry or a related science. A selection of advanced elective courses is available to prepare students for study and research in graduate school.
Bachelor of Science, Biochemistry Major
Biochemistry is an interdisciplinary program. WWU has many strong science-related programs (engineering, physics, math), and chemistry students benefit from high interdisciplinary activity between the departments and resulting in a strong science set and an academically rigorous community.
Chemistry Minor
A chemistry minor is an excellent addition to any major, particularly those focused on health-related professions.
