UAF offers four Bachelor of Science (B.S.) programs: Chemistry, Chemistry with a Biochemistry/Molecular Biology Concentration, Chemistry with an Environmental Chemistry Concentration, and a Forensic Chemistry Concentration. The Department also offers a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) program.  Details of the degrees and programs in Chemistry and Biochemistry may be found in the UAF General Catalog and in the Department's description of the curriculum (see the Student Handbook).

Our intended learning outcomes for undergraduate students are:

• Introductory courses provide basic chemical knowledge for students with other majors and attract the best students to chemistry and biochemistry majors. 
• Graduates attain baccalaureate-level chemistry knowledge, in accordance with ACS guidelines for B.S. majors or as appropriate for broader the B.A. level.
• Graduates have problem solving, laboratory, and safety skills and have hands-on experience with modern chemical instrumentation. 
• Communication/presentation skills are consistent with professional standards.  
• Graduates are employed or continue education following graduation. 

The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree prepares undergraduate students for careers in Chemistry, Biochemistry, or Chemistry-related occupations or for further study in graduate or professional schools.  The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree provides enhanced opportunity for students to complement their chemistry studies with studies in the arts, humanities, and social sciences.

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry undergraduate programs are approved by the American Chemical Society's Committee on Professional Training. 

UAF Chemistry faculty members are committed to high quality instruction and have won many awards for teaching, research and service.  Our undergraduate and graduate students have excellent opportunities for research and have excelled in undergraduate research and publications.  See our homepage and news archive for recent highlights.
