Associates Degree Program
|
This curriculum will prepare students for early entry into the job market that include forensic laboratories as well as industrial quality control laboratories. It will also prepare students to continue on towards bachelor’s degrees in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Forensic Chemistry, and physics or enter many allied health programs. All the required courses for this curriculum are already offered in the existing Bachelor of Science Degree programs in the Chemistry and Physics Department. This will exempt our department from developing any new course or hiring any new faculty running this program. Curriculum plan

Undergraduate Degree Programs
|
This interdisciplinary program offers students a mix of coursework
grounded in both chemistry and biology. This curriculum is designed for
those students who wish to pursue graduate studies in biochemistry or a
professional degree in medicine, pharmacy and other, or work as
laboratory biochemists. The program explores the chemical processes and
reactions taking place within living organisms at the molecular level by
giving emphasizes on molecular approach to the study of biological
processes. Curriculum plan

Chemistry
The field of chemistry is emerging to meet the demands of the economic
future as new technologies and interdisciplinary fields become
increasingly important. The Chemistry Degree program helps prepare
students for graduate school in chemistry and other professionals that
includes Medicine, Dentistry, Veterinary, Physical Therapy, Pharmacy and
Biotechnology, in addition to the rapidly growing areas of
nano-science, petroleum research, laboratory technologist, forensics and
other related fields. Curriculum plan

Education Chemistry
This curriculum is offered in cooperation with the School of Education.
It is designed primarily for those wishing to teach chemistry at the
high school level. It is designed to develop candidate skills in
planning, application and delivery of techniques necessary for teaching
chemistry in grades 7-12. It requires field experience of fifteen (15)
hours. Curriculum Plan
|
Forensic Chemistry
This degree offers a strong background in chemistry and instrumental
analysis in addition to providing good grounding in forensics and
criminal justice. Many students select this degree to prepare for entry
level positions examining evidence related to crimes or to apply to
graduate programs in forensic chemistry or chemistry or professional
degree in medicine, pharmacy and other related professionals. Curriculum Plan |
Physics
The Physics Program is student-centered and designed to provide students
with opportunities and experiences to allow them to pursue future
careers in a variety of areas. One of the key tenants of the program is
the hands-on emphasis on laboratory experience as well as classroom
instruction. This practice is aided by industry-related equipment and
techniques.
The field of physics is emerging to meet the demands of the economic
future as new technologies and interdisciplinary fields become
increasingly important. The Physics Degree program at the University of
Arkansas at Pine Bluff helps prepare students for graduate school in
physics and other professionals that include Engineering,
Geophysicist/field Seismologist, Metallurgist, Radiation Protection
Practitioner etc. Jobs where the physics degree would be useful
include: Investment Analyst, Meteorologist, Operational Researcher,
Patent Attorney and Systems Developer.

Nanoscience
Nanoscience is an interdisciplinary field that involves physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering, with different focuses on nanoscience and technology such as nanomaterials, nanoelectronics, nanophotonics, and nanochemistry. This new option is the best preparation for students who wish to pursue a career in nanotechnology and state-of-the-art technologies by providing them with a foundation in multidisciplinary areas of nanoscale science and engineering, and even careers in health. Students will be trained both on theoretical, computational, and experimental analysis of science at the nanoscale level. Nanoscience is widely used in our daily life, such as targeted drug delivery/release, micro/nanoelectronics, construction, environment protection, energy applications, and many others.

Graduate Education - Chemistry
The primary aim of graduate studies is the advanced preparation of students in the field of chemistry. The Division is coordinated by the Dean of Graduate Studies and Continuing Education. The Graduate Council has legislative authority for the entire process and has designated and specified advisory responsibilities for all graduate programs. The curricula for Master of Education degrees include courses in both professional education and subject matter areas. A total of 36 hours of study is required for program completion. Candidates must complete a 12 hour professional education core, a 9 hour required specialization core, a 12 hour chemistry concentration, and a 3 hour (minimum) educational foundation elective. A written comprehensive examination in the chemistry specialization and the professional education core and/or electives is required. Advanced candidates seeking licensure must also complete the SOE portfolio, courses in Behavior Management and Arkansas History, and the student teaching experience.
