Bachelor of Science in Chemistry - Marine and Atmospheric Chemistry

USA

What will I learn?

The Marine and Atmospheric Chemistry Option of the Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemistry allows the student to extend their laboratory-based understanding of the principles of chemistry to the marine environment, the world ocean, and atmosphere. Your solid foundation in chemistry is broadened by an introduction to chemical oceanography and atmospheric chemistry and the special techniques appropriate to those disciplines. Marine chemists work to understand geochemical distributions and to predict the fate of chemical species in the marine environment. These studies may include both local and global cycles of nutrients and metals, the fate of organic compounds in the sea, trace metal contamination patterns or the generation and cycling of natural gases, like methane and carbon dioxide. Problems of atmospheric pollution and climate change due to increasing greenhouse gases are in the domain of atmospheric chemistry. Chemical research spans the full range of global environments from the stratospheric ozone layer to depths of the ocean.

Official High School Transcript First year students or freshman are those still in high school or have completed high school but have not attended college after high school.An essay on the topic of your choice is required and can be submitted with your application or uploaded to your StartSBU Portal.An appropriate use of an AI tool is to help you explore admission essay ideas or to refine your admission essay based on the topic selected; however, it is important that the final work be yours. AI tools should be used as a resource, similar to resources you may use at your school, e.g. a counselor or teacher. As with counselors and teachers who are not writing your essay for you, AI should not either. This guidance extends to essays written for any university admission purpose*, including essays and short answers for our University Honors Programs and Simons STEM Scholars Program.First year students or freshman are those still in high school or have completed high school but have not attended college after high school.
