Bachelor of Science in Chemistry

Students wishing to obtain a bachelor's degree certified by the American Chemical Society are required to take a total of 13 chemistry courses. These must include those required for the basic major, plus Chemistry 311, Chemistry 327, Chemistry 341, and one additional 300-level chemistry course. Students are encouraged to use independent study (Chemistry 381) or Honors (Chemistry 400) to fulfill the final course requirement. Cross-registration with member institutions of the Lehigh Valley Association of Independent Colleges enables students to take courses in polymer chemistry, engineering, and other specialties. In addition, Moravian University offers formal cooperative bachelor's degree programs with Lafayette College, the University of Pennsylvania, or Washington University (St. Louis) that can lead to degrees in chemical or biochemical engineering. The Moravian University  Chemistry Department also sponsors an American Chemical Society student affiliate chapter that is active in sponsoring guest lectures, receptions and field trips to local industrial and government laboratories.
