BS Chemistry - Medical Sciences - TUG

Gardner-Webb University’s Chemistry Program will provide you with comprehensive and rigorous instruction in the foundational areas of the chemical sciences. We are dedicated to providing a learning environment where our students receive outstanding instruction and mentoring in chemistry within the context of a Christian liberal arts college. Our department is devoted to preparing chemistry majors for their career objectives following graduation in chemical industry, graduate or professional schools, teaching, or other related fields.

 

Program Description Students in the Medical Sciences concentration take 64 credit hours in the major.  Many pursue internships, either through the department or independently.  Some choose a minor in addition to the major.  The Medical Sciences concentration prepares students for medical, dental, PA, or pharmacy school and other healthcare-related careers.

This degree plan is an example of student progression through the program. Academic departments reserve the right to alter the term in which a course is offered.
