2024-2025 Shepherd University Catalog
Chemistry, B.S.
|
|
The chemistry program is designed to meet the needs of future chemists as well as students seeking graduate degrees in the sciences or professional degrees in pharmacy or medicine, dental, or veterinary fields. The curriculum is rooted in the five traditional areas of chemistry - analytical, physical, inorganic, organic, and biochemistry and emphasizes both physics and calculus as part of the degree. Each student will also gain independent research skills by carrying out an individualized in-lab project as the capstone and writing in the major course.
Chemistry offers multiple concentrations to fit each student’s goals: Traditional Track (with choice of a minor), Biochemistry (comprehensive), Biopharmaceutical Sciences (comprehensive), and Environmental Chemistry (comprehensive).

Comprehensive Major in Chemistry-Biopharmaceutical Sciences Concentration
The biopharmaceutical sciences concentration degree program will prepare Shepherd students for admission into either the School of Pharmacy program at West Virginia University or at Shenandoah University. Those students will receive their bachelor of science degree in chemistry from Shepherd through the transfer of specified first-year pharmacy courses from the WVU School of Pharmacy (SOP) or from the Shenandoah School of Pharmacy (SOP) after successfully completing their first professional year in the pharmacy program.
Curriculum for a Comprehensive Major in Chemistry-Biopharmaceutical Sciences concentration
Specific Core Curriculum Requirements, 14-15 Hours:
Required Shepherd Courses, 57 hours:
School of Pharmacy courses (transferred back to Shepherd for major), 23-27 Hours:
Depending on the School of Pharmacy attended, students will receive credit for the following in transfer:
