Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Chemistry] From University of Iowa

The graduate programs in chemistry train scholars to lead efforts in chemistry research and teaching. One of the primary goals is to train students to become independent scientists. The department offers course work to provide the foundational knowledge that enhances student efforts in the laboratory.

A number of organizations are open to undergraduate students for support and enrichment.

Students may join the University of Iowa undergraduate student chapter of the American Chemical Society (ACS). Chapter activities include dinner meetings with guest speakers, field trips to local industry, participation in local and national meetings of the ACS, and participation in chemistry outreach programs. Students in the ACS student chapter develop leadership, organization, and speaking skills valuable during their college experience and throughout their careers.

The department has a chapter of Alpha Chi Sigma, a coed chemistry fraternity. The Alpha Theta Chapter is open to students in chemistry, biochemistry, chemical engineering, and related fields. Alpha Chi Sigma sponsors many social and professional events throughout the year.
