The chemistry major prepares students for careers in industry, research, engineering, technical sales, environmental sciences, public health, teaching, and biomedical sciences. Foundational knowledge of physics and math are gained as students concentrate in organic, inorganic, analytical, and physical chemistry, plus biochemistry, quantitative analysis, quantum chemistry, and computational chemistry.
Both the B.A. and B.S., as well as a minor, are available.
Milligan alumna Kerri Beth Slaughter Boggs (’16) is is now a biochemistry Ph.D. student at the University of Kentucky, where she investigates the replication and transmission of respiratory viruses.

Green Chemistry Commitment
As part of our commitment to sustainable practices in chemistry, the Milligan Chemistry faculty have joined the Green Chemistry Commitment with Beyond Benign. The goal is to provide students with the understanding of what green chemistry is and how it relates to their coursework, labs, and future careers. Faculty integrate green chemistry principles, examples, and labs into many courses, including organic chemistry, biochemistry, analytical chemistry, and undergraduate research projects. These principles aim to decrease waste created by chemical processes, use safer solvents in these processes, increase the use of renewable resources, and more.
