The Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology offers the following degrees:

• Bachelor of Science in Chemistry-Biochemistry Option
• Bachelor of Science in Chemistry
• Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry
• Associate of Science in Chemistry

An undergraduate minor in Chemistry also is offered. All degrees carry the general requirements of the IUPUI School of Science. The Bachelor of Science degrees both carry certification by the American Chemical Society Committee on Professional Training.

Workshops (or Peer-led Team Learning in the science literature) are experiences in active learning: students actively solve problems to reveal where the difficult or obscure steps might be, and then cooperatively progress through the learning exercise. It has been demonstrated in many studies on learning that the outcome far exceed the independent learner. Why? Students are expected to communicate with each other which requires a higher level of comprehension than self-learning. Students quiz each other which places demands on the better students to re-interpret ideas and concepts in alternative and unanticipated ways, thus improving their own understanding. So good students get better, and weak students get stronger. At the same time, students learn to be part of a team, an oft-heard expectation from potential employers.
