Study the fundamentals of creation. The Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics programs at HCU’s College of Science and Engineering prepare students for impactful careers across diverse scientific and technical fields. The Chemistry (BS) program provides both academic learning and laboratory study in general, organic and inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, physical chemistry and laboratory practices, preparing graduates for careers as chemists, toxicologists, and pharmacologists. The Mathematics (BS) program develops proficiency in mathematical theory and application, with advanced study in algebra, calculus, trigonometry, geometry, statistics and combinatorics, ideal for contributing to the technological, engineering, statistical and actuarial science fields. For students seeking a broader scientific foundation, the Science Studies (BS) program integrates scientific principles with faith while developing versatile skills applicable to health professions, research, teaching and law. These programs are distinguished by their challenging coursework, hands-on laboratory experiences, and integration of theoretical knowledge with practical applications. Career Opportunities Graduates from our programs find diverse opportunities across numerous professions, including: Chemists, toxicologists, and pharmacologists Technologists and engineers Statisticians and actuarial scientists Teachers and educators Researchers in various scientific fields Business leaders both locally and abroad Distinctive Learning Experience Students benefit from project-based learning opportunities in their classes and with local industry partners through tailored research and internship experiences. Our faculty members are deeply committed to both instruction and research, with one-on-one interactions between faculty and students being the norm. Research opportunities with faculty are available to undergraduates, and students are encouraged to participate in summer internships and research programs across the country. This personalized approach creates a supportive environment where students can excel in challenging scientific and mathematical disciplines. Advanced Options For students interested in pharmaceutical careers, the Pre-Pharmacy pre-professional program offers academic preparation in chemistry, physics, and behavioral science, opening pathways to careers as pharmacists, clinical specialists, professors, and pharmaceutical industry professionals. Students looking to enhance their educational experience can also explore combining their degree program with the university’s Honors College, creating additional avenues for academic and professional development. Through these advanced options, HCU prepares graduates to meet the growing demand for skilled professionals in chemistry, mathematics and physics-related fields.
