Undergraduate Programs
The Chemistry Department offers three degree programs: B.A. in chemistry, B.S. in chemistry and the B.S. in biochemistry. These programs follow prescribed professional guidelines. Loyola programs are unique because of the close contact between students and faculty, due to smaller class sizes in advanced classes. Chemistry faculty members spend significant time assisting students both in and out of the classroom.
The programs in chemistry lay a firm foundation for chemistry majors and give other students a cultural background in chemistry. The B.S. programs are intended explicitly for those undergraduates who have career goals in chemistry (i.e., an industrial or academic chemistry career most probably following graduate training for the M.S. and/or Ph.D. degrees) but are also good preparation for careers in medicine, law, pharmacy and other professions.
The B.A. program is intended for those undergraduates who have career goals in fields other than chemistry, but for which a strong chemistry background is desirable (e.g., medicine, dentistry, technical sales, patent law).
