ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The chemistry program involves a deep study of matter and its properties.
In your classrooms and labs, you will synthesize, analyze and test substances to gain understanding of how and why they combine or separate to form other substances, as well as how they interact with energy. You will also have opportunities to work with faculty on real-world research and gain field experience for pay or academic credit.

LEARN BY DOING

From your first day on campus, you will learn to be a scientist by BEING a scientist and work your way up to developing and testing your own hypotheses. You will create new substances, test theories using chemical analysis, create processes to make unstable molecules more stable, and more. At Jackson State University, you will become a part of the process of creating new scientific knowledge.

“Challenging Minds, Changing Lives.”

APPLY YOUR KNOWLEDGE

Your time will be spent collecting and analyzing data or running experiments on state-of-the-art equipment – not solely sitting at desks. 

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

Chemistry majors have a plethora of career options after studying general, analytical, organic, physical chemistry, and biochemistry:

Chemical Engineer Chemical Analyst Chemical Information Specialist Chemical Oceanographer
Chemical Safety Officer Chemical Technician Chemist Clinical Chemist
