The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry offers Bachelor of Science degrees in chemistry and biochemistry and a Bachelor of Arts degree in chemistry.  The curricula for the Bachelor of Science degrees are approved by the American Chemical Society and the biochemistry curriculum is consistent with the recommendations of the Association of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.  A Bachelor of Arts is offered for those students seeking a strong background in chemistry but with less specialization than the Bachelor of Science program.  A minor in chemistry is also offered.

For those interested in teaching chemistry at the secondary level, the department suggests the B.A. degree along with the teacher certification program of the School of Education. For students interested in environmental science, a B.A. degree in Chemistry combined with a minor in environmental studies and supporting courses from biology and civil engineering is recommended. 

Gonzaga University does not offer a program in Chemical Engineering. Students interested in Chemical Engineering should consider combining a B.S. degree in Chemistry with supporting courses from the School of Engineering and an M.S. or Ph.D. degree in Chemical Engineering from another institution.
