Overview

The department is approved by the American Chemical Society for the professional training of chemists and offers sound training in principles and techniques for students who plan careers in chemistry and closely allied fields.

For those without definite career aims, the major provides an excellent background for understanding the nature of the physical world and the problems that face a technological society, and gives insight into the philosophy, methods, and limitations of science.

Key facts

Lafayette offers the A.B. and B.S. degrees with majors in both chemistry and biochemistry. The B.S. in Biochemistry degree offered by Lafayette College is the most highly structured and rigorous and meets the certification standards of the American Chemical Society.
The B.S. degrees include a required research component and are often preferred by those graduate schools and government and industry employers who seek maximum professional capability at the undergraduate level.
Because it requires fewer and sometimes less rigorous courses in chemistry, the A.B. chemistry program offers a wider choice for the student than is possible in the B.S. curriculum.
