Career Opportunities

Approximately one-third of UE chemistry department graduates are accepted into prestigious chemistry graduate programs, one-third into professional school (medical school, dental school, etc.), and the remainder are employed in the chemical industry upon graduation.

The University of Evansville’s Department of Chemistry is approved by the American Chemical Society (ACS), which sets high approval standards for faculty, facilities, curriculum, and more – all to ensure that graduates are prepared for successful chemistry careers.
