Undergraduate Global Pathway (3-Semester) Transfer to Bachelor of Science - Chemistry

Through the BS in Chemistry, students will be carried far beyond textbook learning to get hands-on experience with modern laboratory instrumentation. With approval by the American Chemical Society, this program provides a unique opportunity to integrate classroom theory with laboratory experience. Pace offers a unique opportunity to combine classroom theory with practical experience by connecting students with the ability to conduct research alongside faculty, in some cases as early as sophomore year.

Students can expect to conduct work on on-going research projects including biochemical studies of parasitic diseases with a view to developing new antimicrobial agents to combat disease by opportunistic infections of AIDS patients, sexually transmitted diseases and East African sleeping sickness.

On the Westchester Campus, professors are actively involved in research in the areas of nanotechnology, environmental science, and physical chemistry all conducted in the cutting-edge Dyson Hall of Science.

In New York City, the Chemistry program is continuously adjusted to the current trends in chemistry and physical sciences. The amount of scientific information that has been accumulated from experiments and simulations has led the scientific practice to its fourth paradigm over the last few years. This is data driven science, and it unifies the first three paradigms of theory, experiment, and computation/simulation. The department was one of the pioneers in embedding computational methods in the traditional chemistry curriculum, and has built a state-of-the-art computational component to Pace's complete and updated laboratory facilities. Recently we started developing a strong data science interface with traditional chemistry. Finally, the program is linked with the award-winning Haskins Laboratory conducting joint research projects involving students, faculty and laboratory staff.
