Areas of Study
Chemistry connects the physical, life, and applied sciences — and at Trinity, you'll graduate ready for medical school, graduate study, or a career driving industries like pharmaceuticals, engineering, and beyond.
Chemistry (B.S.)
The ACS-certified Bachelor of Science degree offers rigorous preparation across all major areas of chemistry and is designed for students pursuing research-intensive careers or advanced study.
Biochemistry (B.S)
Build a comprehensive understanding of the molecules and processes that sustain life through coursework in chemistry, biology, physics, and mathematics.
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology B.S.
Students learn to connect concepts from biology and chemistry to answer questions about health, disease, biotechnology, and the natural world.
Chemistry (B.A.)
Designed for students seeking a strong foundation in chemistry while maintaining flexibility to pursue additional interests, the B.A. is well suited for interdisciplinary study and many pre-professional pathways.
Chemistry (Minor)
Strengthen your primary study with a foundational chemistry understanding. The minor offers lab and problem-solving skills complementing majors in sciences, health, engineering, and related fields.
