Page Navigation Chemistry, Biochemistry & Physical Sciences
The Department of Chemistry and Physical Sciences offers degrees in Chemistry and Biochemistry that require 72 credits of coursework in the areas of Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics and Biology.
While arming students with a solid background in both theoretical and laboratory chemistry, students have enough room in the curriculum to couple their chemistry degree with other programs — such as education, computer information systems, or business — to better prepare them for interdisciplinary careers like patent or environmental law or science writing.
Physical Science does not have a major at The College of St. Scholastica, but provides support for programs such as Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biology, Health Sciences, and Education.
Career Opportunities
Graduates from the program often find work in industrial, government, or academic laboratory positions or move on to graduate school in Chemical and Biological Sciences or numerous professional schools in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy or physical therapy.
Program Outcomes
Students obtain a broad base of knowledge in chemistry and the supporting math and science fields along with significant laboratory skill development.
Specifically graduates of the program will be prepared to:
- Solve problems utilizing their knowledge of the subdisciplines of chemistry.
- Communicate scientific concepts effectively in written and oral form.
- Work effectively as laboratory chemists independently as well as in teams.
- Act as ethical and professional members of the science community.
Formats and Locations
The B.S./B.A. Chemistry and B.S. Biochemistry degrees as well as the Physical Sciences coursework are all offered in a traditional, on-campus format at our main Duluth campus.
Application to the program (traditional undergraduates only)
Traditional undergraduate students must first be accepted to St. Scholastica. Visit our traditional undergraduate admissions section for more information.
