Job Opportunities in Chemistry
Job opportunities for B.S. chemists are varied and depend on geographical preference. If
one wishes to remain in north Louisiana, chemical careers are possible in the paper
industry, private analytical labs, state crime labs and testing labs, and in
agriculture-related industries. South Louisiana offers job opportunities at an extensive
array of private industries, as do out-of-state locations. ULM Chemistry graduates for the
past ten years have all secured desirable positions. The trend in American higher
education toward fewer science and mathematics majors will create a greater demand for
those majors. Many B.S. graduates from ULM gain admittance to professional programs such
as medical, dental and law schools. ULM graduates who obtain the ACS-accredited B.S.
degree are especially successful in pursuing graduate studies leading to Masters and Ph.D.
degrees. Pictured are five ULM Chemistry Department graduates who went on to work
at Angus Chemical in Monroe, Louisiana (from left to right): Skip Little, Mark Overaker,
Stephanie Durand, Jeff Miller, and Jennifer Johnson.
