Serfis, Ph.D. Vincent T. Spaziano, Ph.D. Brent Znosko, Ph.D. The Department of Chemistry offers undergraduate and graduate programs designed to meet a wide range of interests. Undergraduate degree programs are available in chemistry, biochemistry, pharmaceutical sales and marketing, and dual degree programs in engineering and chemistry. Both B.A. and B.S. degrees are available in chemistry and in biochemistry. The B.S. degrees are certified by the American Chemical Society. The B.A. degrees provide more opportunity for double majors, study abroad, and are often used as preparation for professional schools. The department participates in a dual degree program in Chemical Engineering with Washington University where a student may receive a B.A. in chemistry from SLU and a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Washington University after 3 years of study at SLU and 2 years at Washington University The department has graduate programs leading to an M.S., an M.S.(r), and a Ph.D. Students may take a combined B.A./M.S.(r) or a B.S./M.S.(r) program that is completed in 5 years. Depending on individual progress, students in this program may be on a graduate assistantship for the last one or two years of this program. The assistantship provides tuition remission, a monthly stipend, and health insurance. Requirements for the various programs follow.

BIOCHEMISTRY (B.S.)** The BS program in Biochemistry is designed for those students interested in applications of chemistry to the life sciences. This degree provides excellent preparation for students interested in working in biochemistry, molecular biology, or biotechnology. The degree provides preparation to work as a professional biochemist in an industrial or government laboratory. Students with the ACS certified degree in biochemistry also have the skills to work as a professional chemist. The degree gives excellent preparation for graduate school in biochemistry, graduate medical training programs in a variety of areas, and in chemistry.
