Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry

University at Buffalo - SUNY

Start by thinking small-at the molecular level, to be precise. As a chemistry student, you'll get a whole new perspective on everything around us as you study the composition of matter, then use your knowledge to make our lives better. How? By developing pharmaceuticals that are more effective, making sure our water is safe to drink, developing new materials for longer-lasting products the list goes on and on.What will I learn?In the classroom, you'll gain a solid understanding of the main areas of chemistry. But you can only learn so much from lectures and textbooks, which is why you’ll spend significant time conducting experiments, building strong lab skills and using state-of-the-art instruments. You’ll also have opportunities to go (far) beyond, whether it's tackling problems that cross into other majors, learning how to best communicate your findings or addressing ethical problems involved in chemistry.
