The Fredonia Difference
While some schools may just focus on classroom teaching and others focus on research, at Fredonia you will receive BOTH. Also, for all core courses in this program, Chemistry majors are required to take a national exam. Fredonia students consistently score higher on the exam than the national average. The program offers two tracks; one for students with second majors or minors in related disciplines, and one designed for students interested in graduate or professional schools.
