BS in Chemistry
There are a wide range of career options for chemists and biochemists in a diverse array of occupational fields. Opportunities can be divided into five main sectors: Industry, Academia, Government, Non-Profit, and Entrepreneurship. In addition, the programs of study for both chemistry and biochemistry degrees provide strong academic, critical thinking, and foundational skills for students interested in pursuing advanced professional degrees in medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, and pharmacy, as well as rigorous preparation for graduate school.
Marketable Skills
Students develop the following marketable skills:
- Communication: Reach mutual understanding through the effective exchange of information, ideas, and feelings
- Critical thinking: Analyze and evaluate issues in order to solve problems and develop informed opinions
- Organization: Use resources effectively and efficiently in order to stay focused on different tasks
- Problem-solving: Find solutions to difficult or complex issues
- Research: Be able to search, investigate and critically analyze information in response to a specific research question
- Time management: Prioritize goals and organize time to be more productive and efficient.
Additionally, students will be:
- Using laboratory equipment
- Maintaining precision and accuracy
- Organizing and reporting data, results and conclusions
- Explaining complex ideas for technical and non-technical audiences
The requirement to obtain a BS in Chemistry consists of the general College of Science requirements plus the following specific requirements:
Concentrations
- 7-12 Physical Science Certification
- 7-12 Science Certification
- Secondary Education Minor
Fast Track
The Fast-Track Program enables outstanding undergraduate UTEP students to receive both undergraduate and graduate credit for up to 15 hours of UTEP course work as determined by participating Master's and Doctoral programs. Not all undergraduate programs have elected to participate in the Fast Track option, so students should see their departmental graduate advisor for information about requirements and guidelines. A list of courses that have been approved for possible use at the graduate level is found here.
