The Chemistry and Physics Department offers a Bachelor of Science Degree with a major in Chemistry, and a Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Physics. The Chemistry program is approved by the American Chemical Society and offers specializations in the following areas: (1) Professional (2) Environmental (3) Molecular Biotechnology (4) Pre-Health Professions (5) Medical Technology (6) Pre-Pharmacy (7) Forensic Chemistry. Students who have completed the programs have been successful at entering professional schools, gaining employment in government and industry, as well as pursuing graduate studies in chemistry.

The Chemistry and Physics Department also offers a pre‑engineering program. This two-year program prepares students for entry into an engineering program at North Carolina A & T State University, North Carolina State University, and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

The curriculum in Geology and Geography is designed to fulfill multiple needs of the student. Courses in Geography can be used to meet General Education requirements in Social and Behavioral Sciences. Courses in Geology can be used to meet General Education requirements in Natural Sciences and Mathematics. Geography and Geology courses provide the scientific foundation for the investigation and understanding of the physical and cultural environments of the Earth, and their interactions. Geology courses are also used to meet requirements in the science education, biology education, and middle school science education programs. Geography and Geology both offer Minors and Academic Concentrations. No major is offered in either discipline.

Course offerings in the interdepartmental Bachelor of Science Degree program in Science Education with concentrations in Chemistry, Earth Science, and Physics are also offered through the Chemistry and Physics Department. The Department also cooperates with the Education Department in coordinating a science concentration of the B.S. in Middle Grades Education (6‑9).

For students seeking a baccalaureate degree in Elementary Education, Special Education, or Physical Education, the Chemistry and Physics Department offers Academic Concentrations in Geology, Geography, and Physics.

PRE-ENGINEERING PROGRAM

Pre‑Engineering Program

The Department of Chemistry and Physics is able to offer a pre‑engineering program to selected students. Students selected into this program complete two years of a prescribed program at UNC Pembroke. Upon successful completion of this program, these students can transfer into their junior year at one of the engineering schools mentioned below.

Admission to the program is through a formal interview with the Committee on Pre‑engineering. Requests for interviews can be made any time with the departmental secretary. Additional information may be obtained from the chair of the Chemistry and Physics Department.

This two-year program prepares students for entry into an engineering program at North Carolina A & T University, North Carolina State University, and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. However, completion of the UNCP program does not guarantee acceptance into the engineering school at one of these institutions. The student must also satisfy admission requirements for transfer students, and these usually include an acceptable grade point average. Thus, a student should know the admission requirements of the school he or she expects to attend.
