11 Bachelor's degrees offered by the university
Biological Sciences
Biological Sciences from University of Chicago focuses all courses in the Biological Sciences Collegiate Division on scientific reasoning, research, and discovery.
Biological Chemistry
The Department of Chemistry at University of Chicago, in conjunction with the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology (BCMB) in the Division of the Biological Sciences, offers a B.S. degree in Biological Chemistry.
Astrophysics
Astrophysics from University of Chicago offers several choices to explore. Options include general education courses, the minor program in Astronomy and Astrophysics (aimed at students not majoring in the sciences), and the major program in Astrophysics, with both BA and BS tracks.
Biological Sciences
The goals of the Biological Sciences program at University of Chicago are to give students (1) an understanding of currently accepted concepts in biology and the experimental support for these concepts and (2) an appreciation of the gaps in our current understanding and the opportunities for new research in this field.
Statistics
In the Department of Statistics at University of Chicago—among the top 5 of 65 statistics programs in the nation—the faculty involves students in the invention, study, and development of principles and methods for modeling uncertainty via mathematical probability; for designing experiments, surveys, and observational programs; and for analyzing and interpreting analytical data.
Chemistry
A world leader in basic chemical research, University of Chicago Department of Chemistry receives more funding from the National Science Foundation than any other chemistry department in the nation.
Mathematics
Large and distinguished, the Mathematics faculty at University of Chicago (in the top 5 out of 139 reviewed by the National Research Council) includes two winners of the Fields Medal (the equivalent of the Nobel Prize for mathematics), two members of the National Academy of Sciences, and five recipients of Chicago’s Quantrell Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching.
Physics
We offer a bachelor degree in Physics at University of Chicago. Twenty-nine Nobel Prize–winning physicists have studied, researched, or taught at Chicago, beginning with Albert Michelson, whose measurements of the speed of light earned him the Nobel in 1907.
Molecular Engineering
With the creation of the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME)—the first new school at the University in three decades— University of Chicago is the first university in the nation with a school dedicated to this important field.
Computational and Applied Mathematics
The Departments of Computer Science, Mathematics, and Statistics from University of Chicago offer a B.S. in Computational and Applied Mathematics.
Neuroscience
Through the BA and BS in Neuroscience at University of Chicago, students study the brain and nervous system from various disciplinary angles, building off of fundamental calculus and chemistry skills learned as part of the Core curriculum.
