The Bachelor of Science - Chemistry - Chemical Physics at East Tennessee State University (ETSU) is an bachelor programme designed to develop relevant academic knowledge and practical skills. In the simplest of terms, Chemistry is the science of matter. Anything that can be touched, tasted, smelled, seen, or felt is made of chemicals. Chemists are the people who transform the everyday materials around us into amazing things. Some chemists work on cures for cancer while others monitor the ozone layer protecting us from the sun. Still others discover new materials to make people's home warmer in the winter, or new textiles to be used in the latest fashions. There are a multitude of careers available to chemists including positions in industry, academics, government, and medical careers.
The Chemical Physics Concentration is a collaborative program with the Department of Physics and Astronomy and provides students with a strong emphasis in the physical and mathematical aspects of chemistry. It is designed for those who wish to pursue careers in such fields as computational chemistry, materials science, or the many areas of nanotechnology. The Chemistry Department’s Chemical Physics concentration is approved by the American Chemical Society (ACS) and as such it is subject to change upon notice from the ACS.
