What is the degree program like?

At Lander, chemistry and environmental science students work closely with their professors and advisers to study the fundamentals of the sciences, building an extensive understanding of the field.   Graduates in both areas have ample opportunities for advanced study and for careers in industrial chemistry, government science and regulatory agencies, consulting firms and teaching.  Students can take an active role in Lander's award-winning American Chemical Society chapter and the Environmental Science Student Organization (ESSO).

 

Non-Degree programs in Pre-Dentistry, Pre-Medicine, and Pre-Pharmacy are available for students interested in professional occupations.  Students would major in chemistry and then take the required courses for admission into a professional school.   Offerings in physics and physical science are supportive courses for professional, pre-professional, and general education areas of study.
