About the Program
The Citadel’s Chemistry, B.A with a Clinical Concentration at The Citadel prepares future clinical chemists. Clinical chemists conduct research and develop laboratory procedures that help physicians make earlier, more precise diagnoses and tailor therapy for patients. As technology develops – in “hot” areas like molecular biology, vaccine development or transplant medicine, – clinical chemists apply their knowledge to develop practical applications of these advances†.
