佛羅里達理工學(xué)院

If you want to explore the mysteries of Alzheimer’s disease, aid in the development of life-sustaining pharmaceuticals, or discover new applications of nanotechnology, a chemistry degree offers the knowledge and experience you need.

While there are chemistry degree choices that allow you to specialize your knowledge and career path such as biochemistry or premedical chemistry, a chemistry degree also offers you a wide range of career options and earnings potential. Your career choices include jobs in materials science, research and development, forensics, consumer products, government policy, or food chemistry. Because chemistry is such a versatile science, it is easy to find interesting career opportunities in any industrial, educational, scientific, or government field.

Because chemistry is so fundamental to our world, it is often referred to as the central science that joins together physics and mathematics, biology and medicine, earth sciences and the environment. Students with a BS in chemistry are well prepared to be part of a career field that never seems to lack job opportunity.

Gain Practical Experience

Science is hands-on at Florida Tech, with small classes and intensive faculty–student interaction. Your program provides for building practical skills in technical electives and specialized labs. Other opportunities include collaborative research with a peer or professor or work independently in a topic of your choosing. As a result, you will build practical experience, an enhanced job search portfolio, and a stronger sense of yourself as a scholar—the perfect preparation for graduate and professional school or employment.

Our program is dynamic and comprehensive. Accredited by the American Chemical Society, Florida Tech’s course of study includes organic, inorganic, physical and analytical chemistry, as well as mathematics and physics. Courses like General Chemistry and Calculus-Based Physics are part of your first-year program. As you continue the program, your chemistry degree program involves hands-on experience including conducting nanotechnology experiments in the lab—all while working beside highly qualified faculty who care and will guide you to success.
