Land Your Dream Job

A chemistry education combines technical knowledge and critical thinking skills with practical experiences in collaboration, teamwork, and leadership. Many chemistry graduates go to work in industrial or government labs at places such as Coca-Cola, Southwire, Kimoto Tech, GBI, and the CDC. Others decide to pursue graduate studies and have been accepted to top graduate programs at institutions such as Berkeley, Yale, Stanford, and Princeton. You can also find many of our alumni working in healthcare professions with their chemistry degree serving as the stepping-stone to medical school or pharmacy school.
