Bachelor of Arts - Chemistry

Chemistry is the central science that ties together biology, engineering, astronomy, environment, medicine, and physics. Everything students can imagine involves chemistry, which is why a degree in chemistry can help them find work in various careers, including food scientist, biomedical engineer, medicine, and more.

The College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University's chemistry majors participate in a nationally proven interactive pedagogy that combines hybrid learning with a mix of pre-class video, readings, short lectures, and workbook activities with teams. This is woven in with hands-on laboratory classes, where students work alongside faculty.

Students in the chemistry department are very active in the Chemistry Club. This group organizes outreach events, oversees a mentor program, holds study sessions for finals, and is actively involved in the on-campus Science Olympics.
