Chemistry - ACS Certified (B.S.)
The world around you is full of riddles waiting to be solved.
Some have been small, like designing artificial sweetener by chlorinating a sugar compound. Others are monumental, like continually testing and modifying a compound that targets human cancer cells. Whatever the puzzle, the world needs creative thinkers to imagine and implement solutions.
At SDSU, we train and equip such thinkers to conduct sound research and engage the challenges of our modern day. We give you plenty of opportunities to experiment, direct research initiatives and discover your unique interests. Chemistry courses are divided into five general areas: analytical, organic, inorganic, physical and biochemistry. In addition, we offer courses in instrumentation and environmental chemistry. SDSU's curriculum is designed so you have freedom to seek training in the areas that fascinate and motivate you - whether you hope to be a doctor, a teacher, a researcher or an entrepreneur.
