MTU Undergraduate Chemistry Programs

Michigan Tech offers B.S. degree programs in Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, and Cheminformatics. Our standard Chemistry Degree is ACS certified and you can choose among six different concentrations. Degrees in Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, and Cheminformatics are new options for those with special interest in these areas.

Please consult one of the Chemistry Department advisors, the department chair, or any Chemistry faculty member with questions about our programs.

All of the MTU chemistry degrees provide excellent preparation for a wide variety of careers and continuing studies. We encourage you to talk to your academic or undergraduate research advisor to discuss your career planning.

Research and Internship Opportunities

All faculty members in the department accept undergraduate research students who enroll in CH4990 or CH4995. Consult with individual professors about space availability and prerequisites for work in their lab. Many off-campus research internships exist for chemistry students. More information.

All chemistry majors who plan to go on to medical or other health-related professional programs should also meet as soon as possible with the Director of Pre-Health Professions Studies. The director will assist students in planning for and applying to these programs. For more information, please visit: http://www.bio.mtu.edu/pre_health/pre_med.htm.

Some of our chemistry majors are planning to go to law school. Michigan Tech has pre-law advising for anyone who is considering law school. For further information, go to http://www.prelaw.mtu.edu.
