On Campus
In the Chemistry Health Science degree program, students are provided with the practical experience and classroom instruction necessary to prepare for higher education as a medical professional. The program is designed for students planning a pharmacy, medical, or dental health career.
The faculty in UNK's Department of Chemistry believe in a hands-on science experience. Chemistry Health Science majors will learn modern laboratory techniques from expert professors, receive detailed training with instruments chemists use every day, and benefit from research opportunities leading to presenting and publishing results.
This major includes all prerequisite courses for most pharmacy, dental, and medical schools, including the University of Nebraska Medical Center, though students should review the requirements of their chosen graduate schools.
