DR. MELISSA REEVES, CHAIR

The Department of Chemistry offers a major and minor in chemistry and a physical science major for the Teacher Education Program for secondary level certification. The department seeks to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to prepare them for admission to professional schools in the health fields, for admission to graduate study in chemistry, for admission to the teaching profession, or for careers as chemists in industry. Students completing the Baccalaureate degree in chemistry should: 1. Compare favorably in their knowledge of undergraduate chemistry with those students completing a similar program nationally or statewide, 2. Possess the skills necessary for employment in industry, 3. Possess the skills necessary to remain current in their field.

The Department of Chemistry provides financial assistance in the form of four-year scholarships to students who desire to teach chemistry or physics in the public schools. Upon enrollment at ETBU the student must pursue a B.S.E. degree with a major in physical science.
