The program is offered by Western New England University. You?ll enjoy learning and working in the classrooms and laboratories of our Center for the Sciences and Pharmacy, a $40 million facility that provides students with the opportunity to utilize sophisticated state-of-the-art technology and instrumentation such as nuclear magnetic resonance and gas-chromatography mass spectrometry.

From nutrition, new drugs, and human health; to coatings, paints, and plastics; to powering our phones, cars, and homes, chemistry impacts everything in our world. Chemists integrate science and technology to facilitate the design, synthesis, and analysis of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, polymers, pesticides, colorants, chemical sensors, and test reagents (to name a few). They conduct cutting-edge research for major universities and chemical industries; they educate students; and they serve the public by working for the government and other entrepreneurial institutions. Additionally, a bachelor?s degree in chemistry is excellent preparation for students interested in pursuing graduate studies in the sciences or a career in medicine, healthcare, or veterinary science.

Career Opportunities

Our Chemistry graduates have gone on to successful careers in the chemical (Solutia, Inc.), environmental (ConTest), biotechnology (Associates of Cape Cod), and pharmaceutical industries (Pfizer), as well as in federal, state, or local governmental agencies (Rockaway Valley Regional Sewerage Authority). Other alumni have successfully completed graduate degrees in the chemical and biomedical sciences. Some of our chemistry graduates have pursued careers in education ultimately teaching students in elementary and secondary schools.
