The Department of Chemistry at Saint Louis University is committed to education and research in chemical sciences. We offer an American Chemical Society certified undergraduate curriculum with B.S. and B.A. degrees in both Chemistry and Biochemistry. These programs provide excellent preparation for students seeking employment in industry (chemical, pharmaceutical, agriculture, etc. ) or the government (DOD labs, regulatory agencies, law enforcement) as well as for those wishing to continue their studies in professional school (medical, dental, veterinary, law, etc.) and graduate school. Information on these programs is found at the Undergraduate Programs link.

The B.S. degree is certified by the American Chemical Society and is generally the degree desired for employment of bachelor's graduates by most chemical companies. As an ACS Certified Program, it places heavy emphasis on course and laboratory work, as well as research. Students interested in pursuing graduate studies in chemistry or biochemistry should consider this degree option.
