Chemistry majors graduate with a wide choice of career possibilities as researchers and administrators in the chemical, environmental, health and pharmaceutical industries.

Whether you're considering a career in the laboratory, management or teaching, the Bachelor of Science Degree Program in Chemistry at St. John’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences offers a comprehensive education for students interested in the sciences. Majors seeking a Bachelor of Science can also obtain a dual B.S/M.S. degree in Chemistry.

Along with traditional classes, undergraduates study the growing fields of organic chemistry, organometallics and separation techniques as well as subjects ranging from Genetics to Bioorganic Chemistry. The rigorous 126-credit program explores the chemical processes that permit organisms to grow, repair damage and reproduce.

You'll gain hands-on laboratory experience, while studying the chemical basis for organisms at the molecular level.

Available at the University's Queens campus, the Bachelor of Science Degree Program in Chemistry includes a core curriculum with three options (see our Program Requirements):

  • Option I: B.S. in Chemistry
  • Option II: B.S. in Chemistry with American Chemical Society Certification
  • Option III: B.S. in Chemistry with a Concentration in Biochemistry

Students select a concentration based on their interest and career goals. The Chemistry Department also offers a Master of Science Degree Program and a combined B.S./M.S. Degree Program in Chemistry.
