Saint Louis University

A Bachelor of Science in chemistry provides excellent preparation for students seeking employment in industry (chemical, pharmaceutical, agriculture, etc.) or the government (Department of Defense 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.

SLU's Department of Chemistry places a great emphasis on undergraduate research. Chemistry majors have ample opportunity to pursue research projects under the close mentorship of a full-time faculty member. Students use a variety of specialized equipment and computers in their laboratories and in their research. Students in upper-level chemistry courses enjoy small classes and personalized attention.

Other highlights include:

• The chemistry program provides a rigorous program, which makes graduates competitive for employment in STEM areas.
• The chemistry program provides opportunities for students to strengthen their scientific communication skills through research activities that pair an undergraduate with a faculty researcher.
• We offer a unique mentoring program freshman through senior year to provide guidance and support students in reaching their professional goals.
