If you answered yes to these questions then you should consider the Department of Chemistry, three-year accelerated degree program. Qualified students can complete one of two degrees offered through the Department of Chemistry in only three years.<\/p>\n

As a program participant you will complete CHE 120 General Chemistry II and CHE 295 Chemistry Colloquium during the summer semester immediately following graduation from high school. This puts you on track to immediately enter Organic I in the fall semester and to graduate in only three years. As an accelerated program student, you will be encouraged to participate in a research project with a Chemistry faculty member and present your work at a local, regional or national conference. You will also have the opportunity to participate in a research or internship experience in the summer before your senior year. You will also get a personalized, customized advising experience and mentoring from Chemistry faculty.<\/p>\n<\/div>
