We offer a major program of study leading to an undergraduate chemistry degree as well as provide chemistry and physics coursework in support of other degree programs.
Chemistry is focused on the study of matter and the changes it undergoes; as such chemistry encompasses a broad spectrum of fields including biochemistry, medicine, meteorology, engineering, archaeology, electronics and psychology.
After a four-year undergraduate program in chemistry, our graduates work in government, industry, or education; others pursue further education—including graduate school, medical school, pharmacy school, or other health professions.
William Carey chemistry students are routinely selected as summer interns at sites throughout the United States. Recent students have worked at Kent State University, University of Alabama, University of Southern Mississippi, University of Pittsburgh, and the USDA Agricultural Research Center at Poplarville, MS. Currently, the Department has alumni in graduate school at University of Alabama, Carnegie Mellon University, and University of Southern Mississippi and in medical school at the University of Mississippi Medical Center and Yale University Medical Center.
If you are considering a major in chemistry or just want to learn more about our department, please contact us to schedule a visit with a faculty advisor. We look forward to hearing from you!
