Overview
The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry offers the B.S. degree for a major in chemistry, with concentrations that meet the American Chemical Society Accredited Programs requirements for concentrations in biochemistry, materials chemistry and in chemistry/chemical education. More details for these offerings are found on the ACS certified programs page.
Students have the option to obtain two different concentrations within this major: (1) Concentration in General Chemistry (2) Concentration in Chemistry/Buisiness. The latter concentration is ideal for business-oriented chemistry students preparing for careers in patent law, technical sales, technical service and related areas. For more information on the Chemistry major and these concentrations, please see the JMU Undergraduate Catalog.
