Chemistry as a profession offers considerable options. A bachelor's degree in chemistry will prepare students for many positions. Chemists work for companies that manufacture chemicals and electronic and scientific instruments. They are also employed by national and private laboratories, research firms and government agencies.

The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, EPA, and the National Institute of Health have many jobs for chemists.
With a degree in chemistry, students may become product developers or sales representatives for companies that manufacture chemical products, pharmaceuticals, or laboratory equipment.

They may work as researchers for pharmaceutical companies or medical research laboratories. Some graduates choose to go on to graduate school.

Many choose to attend professional schools such as medical, dentistry, optometry, veterinarian, physical therapy, chiropractic or pharmacy school.

Additionally, some students may choose a career in secondary education and become middle school or high school science teachers.
