II. American Chemical Society (ACS) Approved Majors

The American Chemical Society (ACS) has developed national guidelines for Bachelors programs in chemistry and approved chemistry programs that meet these standards by offering “a broad-based and rigorous chemistry education that gives students intellectual, experimental, and communication skills to become effective scientific professionals.”  Drew offers an ACS-approved Chemistry major and an ACS-approved Biochemistry track that provide students with a nationally recognized course of scientific study.
