Chemistry

Students majoring in chemistry at Â鶹´«Ã½ may prepare for a career in industry, teaching or graduate study in chemistry, biochemistry, medicine and dentistry or pharmaceuticals. The course offerings for the undergraduate degrees are structured to give a broad but thorough grounding in the elements of chemistry. The chemistry curriculum can be fortified by a minor in physics, mathematics or biological sciences.

The College of Arts and Sciences at Â鶹´«Ã½ offers several Â鶹´«Ã½ for you to get a head start on your graduate degree while enrolled as an undergraduate. Through WMU’s Accelerated Graduate Degree Program, Â鶹´«Ã½s meeting certain criteria can enroll in up to 12 credit hours of designated 5000- and 6000-level courses for graduate credit. These designated courses may be used in completion of both the bachelor’s and master’s degree.

The College of Arts and Sciences at Â鶹´«Ã½ offers the opportunity for you to earn a bachelor's degree from one of our partnering institutions and your master's degree from Â鶹´«Ã½ in only five years.

Aquinas College Â鶹´«Ã½s may be able to transfer a maximum of twelve undergraduate credits between Aquinas and WMU for application toward a WMU master's degree in chemistry. Information coming soon.
