Chemistry – Clinical Concentration, B.A.

Chemistry – Clinical Concentration Degree

The Citadel’s Chemistry, B.A with a Clinical Concentration at The Citadel prepares future clinical chemists. A Clinical chemist conducts research and develops 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 – a clinical chemist applies knowledge to develop practical applications of these advances†.
