Chemistry, B.S. - Engineering Instrumentation Automation Option
The B.S. Chemistry degree with an option in Engineering Instrumentation Automation is focused on using, controlling, and improving instruments for chemical analysis and interpreting/analyzing data. Many chemistry employment opportunities exist in analytical laboratories or graduate school where sophisticated instrumentation is used extensively. This option maintains a core chemistry curriculum and supplements the chemistry knowledge content with industrial electronics, control systems, and robotics. This option is a unique learning experience available at Millersville due to the collaboration of the Department of Chemistry and the Department of Applied Engineering Safety and Technology. Graduate of this option will be well prepared for positions where instrumentation and analysis plays a key role.

THIS BLOCK IS NOT REQUIRED FOR DEGREE COMPLETION. The following block contains courses which are required/recommended to students opting for ACS Certification. While not required, an introductory Economics course, elementary German or Russian (GERM/RUSS 101 and 102) are recommended for inclusion in the core Liberal Arts core requirements for general education. Students must take a minimum of two hours of CHEM 489, 498, or 499 (Research) under Chemistry Electives. This means you will need a total of 3 credits in CHEM 489, 498 or 499.
