NMSU Chemistry

NMSU ChemistryNMSU Chemistry offers many courses that are focused on the disciplines of Physics, Biology, Chemistry and Engineering. The course curriculum is designed to prepare students for careers in industry, government, and academia, or perhaps for entry-level jobs with various healthcare companies.There are two separate streams that students can pursue, either the Bachelor of Science in Science (B.S. Sc. ), or the Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) The Bachelor of Science degree program is intended for students who have a demonstrated interest in a career in science. It includes a concentration in Science and Engineering, which focus specifically on the science disciplines and engineering technology. The Associate of Applied Science degree, on the other hand, is a flexible program that provides opportunities for working professionals interested in business administration, business and management, or related fields.The majority of students pursuing the Bachelor of Science in S cience focus on Chemical and Physical Sciences, and often take courses such as Organic Chemistry, Bioinorganic Chemistry, and Analytical Chemistry. These students must also have taken a minimum of 12 credits of advanced physics and completed at least 4 credits of advanced laboratory sciences courses. They will typically be required to complete several general chemistry courses, as well as a heavy concentration in some one of the following areas: environmental sciences, biochemistry, physical chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, computer science, or materials science. Students should be familiar with calculus, as well as Algebra II and linear algebra.Some of the B.S. students will focus on the other core subjects in the Science and Engineering stream, such as Biology, Geology, and Biochemistry. These students may take courses in Cellular Biology, Molecular Biology, and Organismal Biology. These students may also choose to take a specialization in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, or Molecular and Cell Biology.Students pursuing the A.A.S. in the B.S. program will concentrate on Biology, Chemistry, or other core subjects, as well as taking courses in math, math-based sciences, and physics.Those students pursuing the A.A.S. program will usually focus on Physics, Chemistry, or other core subjects, as well as taking classes in biology, molecular biology, and computer science.B.S. Sc. Science graduates generally start out with more specialized career goals and therefore have more flexible courses of study and coursework.Once students have completed their B.S. Sc. Science, they will enter into a comprehensive curriculum, which includes Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Computational Physics.
