Overview

During the Senior year, all students enrolled in the Chemistry program at University of South Carolina Aiken will complete a chemistry research project with one of the faculty in the department. Because chemistry is an increasingly interdisciplinary field, BS chemistry students can choose a concentration that further prepares them in one of these hybrid fields of chemistry:

Concentration in Engineering: For students with an interest in engineering, this degree concentration gives chemistry students an engineering background that helps them to work in an environment where they would interaction with engineers of all types. Students who choose this concentration take additional engineering and math courses. This is not a degree in chemical engineering.

Concentration in Biochemistry: For students who are interested in the biological applications of chemistry. This concentration gives students a stronger background in advanced biology topics that will enrich their understanding of the topics covered in our general and advanced biochemistry courses. Students who choose this concentration take additional biology courses.

Concentration in Computational Chemistry: For students who are interested in learning the ways computer modelling can enhance our understanding of chemical and biochemical processes. Students who choose this concentration take additional math and computer science classes.
