Bluffton's chemistry program closely follows the guidelines set by the American Chemical Society and includes a strong emphasis in the core areas of chemistry: analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry. You will take some physics and mathematics courses and if you have an interest in computers, you can take computer courses as electives.

If you are interested in independent study, you can work with a faculty member to design a project in your area of interest. Former students have engaged in independent studies in several ongoing environmental-chemistry projects and analytical/instrumentation projects.

Students interested in pre-medicine or other health-related fields can complete a chemistry major, a biology major, both or the pre-medicine major.

Students interested in chemical engineering can pursue graduate work leading to a masters degree or Ph.D. in chemical engineering.

Brittany Steele '12 Brittany Steele '12 My favorite part of any chemistry class is the lab. It is a lot of fun to go in to the lab and get to play with chemicals. Laurin Waidelich '12 Laurin Waidelich '12 I chose to study chemistry at Bluffton because of the small class sizes. Majoring in chemistry is a lot of hard work. The classes can be tough, but professors and fellow classmates, are very willing to help.
