Chemistry majors can conduct research through Albion College's Foundation for Undergraduate Research, Scholarship and Creative Activity (FURSCA).

 

Accredited by the American Chemical Society (ACS), the Chemistry Department is dedicated to providing the Albion College student with a strong chemistry background. For those interested in a career in chemistry or biochemistry the department offers a strong major within the liberal arts framework. For those interested in careers in related fields, such as health-related professions, biology, physics, or geology, the department provides a strong foundation in chemistry for use in these disciplines. For those who are not in the sciences we provide sufficient background to understand advances in technology, environmental implications of new laws, drug problems, and health advances.

Chemistry majors select careers in a variety of fields. Many continue on to graduate school in chemistry, biochemistry, chemical engineering, or related fields. Some decide to enter medical school, dental school, or other health-related disciplines such as nutrition. Still others enter the pharmaceutical, chemical, or environmental industries.

All chemistry majors are encouraged to participate in independent study either at Albion (through FURSCA) or at companies or universities. The department and its majors also have close interactions with the Environmental Center, Honors Program, and Pre-Health Institute.
