Agnes Scott’s academic program in chemistry, approved by the American Chemical Society (ACS), introduces students to the principles, 应用程序, and communication of chemical knowledge. The major provides practical experience in laboratory courses and through research opportunities.
化学研究, known as the central science, is particularly appropriate to students interested in medicine, 取证, 材料科学, 教学, 化学品安全, research or industrial 应用程序. Recent graduates have gone on to earn prestigious fellowships: National Science Foundation 研究生 Fellowship, 戈德华特奖学金, 马歇尔奖学金.
Two chemistry major options (ACS approved or non-ACS approved track) and a minor option are available at Agnes Scott. The ACS approved major curriculum is most appropriate for students interested in entering industry or continuing their studies in graduate school. The non-ACS approved major curriculum affords students the flexibility to pursue other academic interests during their time at Agnes Scott.
化学 program courses will help you understand the structure, 属性, and reactivity of matter and to apply that understanding to important societal problems that require chemical knowledge. The curriculum for majors requires a strong foundation in all five subdisciplines of chemistry (analytical, 无机, 有机, 物理, and biochemistry) while allowing students to tailor upper-level requirements to their individual interests.
Would you like to become an engineer but also want to explore other exciting subjects—ones that illuminate the interconnections of the world—to launch you on a lifetime of learning? Consider our dual-degree programs in engineering—aerospace, 生物医学, chemical and biomolecular, civil and environmental, 电气与计算机, 工业与系统, 材料科学, 机械或聚合物, 或者纺织和纤维. You’ll earn a Bachelor of Arts degree from Agnes Scott and a 理学学士 in engineering degree from the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Your program will begin with a three-year, liberal arts curriculum at Agnes Scott followed by approximately two years of engineering study at Georgia Tech.
Recent graduates are undertaking doctoral research in newly developing scientific fields such as material sciences, an area in which research ranges from solar cell design to 生物医学 devices. 化学 majors with a broad understanding of how molecular 属性 determine 物理 and electronic behavior are ideally prepared to participate in research areas unimagined years ago.
化学 majors regularly participate in research resulting in presentations at professional meetings. Working with either research active faculty on campus or through Research Experience for 本科s (REU) across the country students gain invaluable experiences in exploring chemistry beyond the textbook.
Students graduating with a 化学 major will be prepared for post-baccalaureate pursuits such as graduate school in chemistry or employment in chemistry or chemistry-related professions.
During your study at Agnes Scott, you’ll enjoy collaborative, 课堂讨论, accessible faculty and research of your own choosing. 和, you’ll enhance your future career with strong writing, speaking and analytical skills—the true benefits of a liberal arts education. Scotties have interned at a variety of places, from the Center for Disease Control to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The on and off-campus opportunities provided prepare you for further study, or work in a professional setting.
