Although our time and culture tend to suggest science and Christian faith are incongruent, this is not true. There are many examples of well-respected and prestigious scientists, both past and present, who profess a personal relationship with Jesus as their LORD and Savior. Here are just four examples of current scientists who have shared publicly about their faith and who have accomplished some pretty amazing things in their respective fields.
This information was vetted by comparing to online magazine and journal articles that included direct quotes from each scientist, the content here is taken drictly from the following site, accessed on 3 October 2023:
Chemistry is widely seen as the "Central Science" because it is directly related to so many other fields of science, engineering and mathamatics. Perhaps mathematics is even more central or should be depicted as a cloud over the entire diagram since it is used in the study and work of each of these fields. Regarless, Chemistry enjoys a central role in the progress of all other scientific fields and is thus very valuable as an undergraduate degree.
Here is an incomplete, but extensive list of careers that can be achieved with a Chemistry or Biochemistry undergraduate degree. Notice there are many different options and some of them may even suprise you.
More information about each career, including expected earning potential and daily work responsibilities can be found at O*NET OnLine (onetonline.org).
Many people think that a "pre-med" degree in college is the best way to ensure entrance into medical school, but this is simply not true. As you can see from the data in this graphic, a higher percentage of students from hummanities majors are accepted into medical school each year than any other degree program. Though this is a very small number, making up an extreme minority, the message is clear: medical schools value well-rounded candidates who have experiences and viewpoints beyond the field of medicine itself.
What does this mean?
The liberal arts degree that all students earn at Bethel, which includes extensive study of the hummanities, when combined with our Biochemistry B.S. are a robust and well-respected educational prep for medical school. It will certainly challenge you, but it also prepare you for your future work as an MD or DO. Apply today!
A Bright Future in Chemistry
Take a look at the results of this recent search I performed on www.onetonline.org for the word "chemist". Notice all of the listed careers or jobs thjat relate to chemistry? A bachelor's degree in chemistry is a great way to preapre yourself for a wide range of possible careers, these are only those that include the actual word "chemist" in their descritption; there are many others such as those in medical professions that are not even listed here. Also, notice that most of these jobs have a yellow sun icon, which indicates they are expected to see rapid growth in the near future. In short, Chemistry is great college major that offers students plenty of fun in the lab, a broadly applicable education, and a bright future in the workforce!
