As a Suffolk University chemistry major, you'll learn hands-on in our labs. And because most of our labs are limited to 12 students or fewer, you're sure to get your professors' personal attention and develop strong bonds with these mentors.
You’ll follow a course of study endorsed by the American Chemical Society (ACS), which guarantees respect in the field. You can also join Suffolk's ACS chapter; it's recognized nationwide for its sponsored lectures and community service projects. You might also volunteer at the nearby Museum of Science or the Boston Children’s Museum. Additionally, opportunities are available to attend the national ACS meeting to learn about current research from experts in the field.

This program is ideal if you hope to go on to a research career or to graduate school. Plus, you'll have the skills to thrive in high-demand fields like pharmaceuticals, environmental health, and manufacturing.
