Reasons to Major in Chemistry at USF

Chemistry is called the "central science" because the concepts developed in this discipline are related to many other disciplines, such as Environmental Chemistry, Food Chemistry, Forensic Chemistry, and Soil and Plant Chemistry. Earn your bachelor’s degree on our campus in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and you can specialize in different fields of chemistry through two tracks: the Chemistry major (preparation for employment as a chemist or for graduate study) and the pre-professional Chemistry track.

At USF, we’re also giving you the chance while you earn your accredited Chemistry degree to experience a distinctly Christian liberal arts education.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

• Develop true mentoring relationships with our Chemistry faculty
• Study inside our new and renovated science center
• Take part in real-world, original research on our campus in Sioux Falls
• Complete internships, independent study projects and summer research projects in Chemistry
• Prepare to work in a Chemistry career or continue your education with graduate work in Chemistry
