These opportunities enable students to practice real-world lab applications of the information they are currently studying.Ĭooperative education is also highly recommended to gain experiences outside of RIT, though not required for graduation.

Undergraduate research experiences are available with professors throughout the School of Chemistry and Material Sciences and are highly encouraged. RIT has a rich history of helping students to gain real-world experience throughout their education. The major offers the chance to choose a concentration or minor in complementary fields such as imaging science, business, technical communication, biology, criminal justice, engineering, environmental science, physics, or mathematics. Through courses in general, analytical, physical, organic, and inorganic chemistry, you'll develop a thorough understanding of substances and their chemical properties, how they can be manipulated, and how they can be transformed into new materials. The major also provides you with the option of planning an elective concentration in a complementary field such as imaging science, business, graphic arts, psychology, biology, criminal justice, computer science, engineering, environmental science, forensics, mathematics, packaging science, or physics. The chemistry major allows for flexibility in the type and number of chemistry and university-wide elective courses you decide to take.

A substantial number of students continue their education and earn advanced degrees in chemistry or pursue careers in pharmacy, medicine, and dentistry.
