Why Chemistry at LTU?
The hallmark of the Lawrence Technological University Bachelor of Science in Chemistry program is laboratory training that greatly exceeds the minimum standards of the American Chemical Society (ACS) and is far more extensive than that offered at many of the most prestigious institutions in the country. Introducing advanced instrumentation at the earliest opportunity in your education is another important facet of the program.
Lawrence Tech offers you access to state-of-the-art instrumentation in fully computerized laboratories, providing real-world, hands-on experience. A partial list of major equipment includes:
As a chemistry student, you can select from three ACS-certified options: chemistry, chemical biology, and environmental chemistry. In addition, you may choose engineering chemistry as an option. All offer excellent preparation for a variety of career opportunities or advanced study. The standard program, which requires 125 credit hours, and the 123-credit-hour environmental chemistry option both prepare you for work in laboratories, research, industry, government, medicine, and education. The engineering chemistry option, which requires 130 credit hours, allows you to pursue positions in traditional chemistry fields as well as many of those normally filled by chemical engineers. The 126-credit-hour chemical biology degree prepares you for careers in pharmaceutical or biotechnology industries, and satisfies the requirements for most medical, dental, or veterinary schools. Whatever your choice, you will receive personal attention and rigorous training that can make your education pay dividends for the rest of your life.
