Non-ACS Approved Overview

The Department of Chemistry at the USI offers a research-focused program with state-of-the-art facilities. As a chemistry major, you will gain hands-on experience with instrumentation and develop transferable skills. Small class sizes, typically fewer than 15 students in upper-level courses, ensure personalized learning. For those interested in the physical sciences, the non-ACS accredited chemistry degree offers flexibility in course selection. Beyond the classroom, students have opportunities for local internships, summer research, and community service activities.

Graduates excel in the chemical industry, environmental sciences, and are competitive applicants for graduate and professional programs. USI Chemistry majors consistently score at or above the national average on the Major Field Test in chemistry.
