B.S. in Chemistry: Concentrations

To make sure that your bachelor’s degree in chemistry is as closely tailored to your goals as possible, we offer five different concentrations in specific areas of interest.

What You’ll Learn

Chemistry is one of the most central fields in all the sciences. As you work toward a Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry, you’ll develop the skill set and knowledge base you need to understand the workings of the universe—and transform that knowledge into the new discoveries and practical solutions our world needs.

With a B.S. in chemistry from UNO, you’ll:

• Master core chemistry concepts, including stoichiometry, states of matter, atomic structure, molecular structure and bonding, thermodynamics, equilibria, and kinetics.
• Master foundation-level chemistry concepts in the five subdisciplines of chemistry: analytical chemistry, biochemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, and physical chemistry.
• Master in-depth topics in chemistry that require you to integrate concepts, think critically, and use problem-solving skills.
• Function as a chemist through a semester-long research experience or internship in a professional setting. You’ll be responsible for written and oral reporting as well as satisfactorily accomplishing research or professional laboratory tasks.
• Demonstrate laboratory skills during a minimum of 400 hours of laboratory performance.
• Develop strong skills in problem-solving, chemical literature and information management, laboratory safety, communication, teamwork, and ethics.

Once you complete your B.S. in chemistry, you’ll have the theoretical and practical knowledge you need to participate in the scientific process, and to apply your expertise in real-world scientific discoveries.
