With large laboratories and state-of-the-art equipment, all of our programs feature extensive experiments and opportunities to participate in research and practical projects. From designing “smart boxes” for tracking materials in hospitals to investigating quantum mechanical properties of atoms at temperatures near absolute zero, our students are active in cutting-edge research and design.
Recognized by the American Chemical Society (ACS) and the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) as among the nation's top programs, we offer options in chemistry and biochemistry, chemistry education, nanotechnology, and pre-medical sciences. Chemistry majors — who often graduate with ACS or ASBMB certification, including some with both — advance into professions such as medicine, secondary school teaching, and chemically related industrial firms. Biochemistry majors enjoy a career path into medicine or veterinary school, as well as a stepping-stone into forensic chemistry.
Bloomsburg because ...
- Unlike large public universities, you'll never have a teaching assistant in any of your lab classes. You'll never be in a chemistry lab section with more than 18 students.
- Our instrument suite is comparable to or better than many private schools and is fully accessible by students, who get hands-on experience with these instruments.
- We have paid research internships for qualified students to work one-on-one with faculty. Routinely, these students receive travel funds to present their research results at national science conferences, such as the annual American Chemical Society Meeting.
Your journey upward awaits
At Bloomsburg, collaborative research is at the heart of what we do best. We encourage students to get involved in collaborative research with faculty members and offer grants to support you on your journey of discovery. Current areas of research include:
- Alternative Energy - Alternative energy research at Bloomsburg University consists of the distinct areas of biofuels, wind energy, and organic photovoltaic cells.
- Ultra-Cold Atomic Physics - Since 2010, Bloomsburg University has been developing a program of fundamental research in ultra-cold atomic physics.
- Power Electronics - The Power Electronics Laboratory supports research in the area of analog, mixed-signal, and high-power electronics including analysis, modeling, simulation, and hardware implementation of power electronic systems covering the technical areas of power semiconductors, magnetics, controls, and digital systems.
- Stellar Astrophysics - The astrophysics group currently collects its data from the Kepler Space Telescope for asteroseismology, a new field dedicated to the study of oscillations originating in the interiors of stars, which behave as pressure waves (like sound waves). The Kepler Space Telescope, launched in 2009 was designed to detect extrasolar planets. It is also used as a laboratory for the study of variable stars, with over 200,000 stars in the Kepler Field.
How about a medical degree in seven years!
A combined Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry-Doctor of Osteopathy dual degree program that can be either three years at Bloomsburg plus four years at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM), or four years at Bloomsburg plus four years at PCOM. The first program is “accelerated” and the second program is a traditional length to obtain both degrees.
Interested in both biology and chemistry?
Perfect, we have the option just for you! Pursue this specialized program that leads to medical and dental schools after graduation. Both standard and ACS certified tracks are available. Students have the opportunity to be awarded certification by the American Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, ASBMB.
Pursuing chemistry opens up multiple undergraduate options that include pathways for experience in chemical research, some specialty fields and certifications, as well as graduate studies or employment in industry, including engineering.
- BS in Chemistry — This program is most commonly pursued by chemistry majors at Bloomsburg. It provides a broad exposure to all major areas of chemistry as well as options for experience in chemical research, some specialty fields and certifications.
- BS in Chemistry (ACS) — Completion of a research component will allow a student’s degree to be certified by the American Chemical Society. Students completing this program are particularly well prepared to pursue graduate studies or employment in industry.
- BA in Chemistry — This program provides a three-year exposure to the core of the chemistry curriculum. Students can double major in chemistry and another discipline, or they can participate in the 3:2 program in engineering.
Interested in teaching?
This option features a capstone course, The Chemistry Curriculum and the Teaching Laboratory, the only one of its kind in the State System.
- BS in Education with Chemistry Certification — Students interested in teaching high school chemistry pursue this program that awards them a BS in Education and the equivalent of a BA in Chemistry.
High-technology components make up the computers, cell phones, and other devices used daily. Electronics engineering technologists concentrate on applied design using current engineering practices and program management.
This field is changing everything!
From vaccines to computers to car tires, nanotechnology is playing a part. Its products can be found in commonly used items as cell phones, cosmetics, and clothing. It's used to help solve problems by:
- developing nanoparticles for fluorescence imaging of tumors
- producing cleaner, more affordable energy
- detecting and clean up hazardous chemicals in the environment
- enabling medical devices that can eliminate the need for surgery
- making sunscreen and cosmetics more effective
- ensuring food stays fresher longer
- creating smaller and faster electronic components
From the tiniest subatomic particles to the entire universe, the field of physics attempts to explain the basic laws of nature by examining the interactions of matter and energy. Our program includes courses in fields of physics such as mechanics, electricity and magnetism, atomic, nuclear, electronics, optics, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and astrophysics.
This program provides all of the required physics courses, plus opportunities for students to work on special projects relating to physics education. There continues to be a widespread shortage of physics teachers, so graduates find a favorable job market.
This program helps prepare you for entry into medical school, dental school, veterinary school, podiatric school, chiropractic school, and optometry school. This best fits:
- Post-baccalaureate students who require additional preparation at the undergraduate level.
- Undergraduate students on an alternative path to preparing for professional school, such as psychology or exercise science or anthropology, to name a few.
- Students majoring in chemistry-biochemistry ... this is one of your “pre-med” options.
Radiation control incorporates an understanding of many disciplines. It has common scientific interests with many areas of specialization: physics, biology, biophysics, engineering (nuclear, civil, mechanical, or electrical), chemistry, genetics, ecology, environmental sciences, metallurgy, medicine, physiology, and toxicology. The wide spectrum of knowledge required of the health physicist makes this profession both challenging and rewarding.
Earn a bachelor’s degree in four semesters!
Here, you'll find technology internships, healthcare clinical experiences, or scientific research, including undergraduate research opportunities. These experiences will give you an edge in your career, and along the way, you'll take pride in making a difference — for the environment or for your community. Once you transfer your associate’s degree to Bloomsburg, you'll start at the junior level in these programs.
