The Chemistry Department at San Jose State University strives to provide broad access to the highest quality education possible in the molecular sciences at the baccalaureate and master's degree levels. To achieve this ambitious goal, we have crafted a curriculum affording students access to expert instructors in each of the sub-fields of chemistry via traditional classroom courses, hands-on laboratory courses, and research laboratories. At the undergraduate level, we offer programs leading to the B.S. Chemistry, the B.S. Chemistry, Concentration in Biochemistry, and the B.A. Chemistry. Our B.S. Chemistry degree is certified by the American Chemical Society. We also offer a Minor in Chemistry. At the graduate level, our Department offers programs leading to the M.S. and M.A. degrees in Chemistry. Our graduate degrees are research based and require that a thesis based on original research be written and defended. Please visit our Academic Programs page for more information. The Chemistry Department has been accredited by the American Chemical Society since September 1951.
