A program that focuses on the scientific study of the properties and behavior of hydrocarbon compounds and their derivatives. Includes instruction in molecular conversion and synthesis, molecular synthesis and design, the molecular structure of living cells and systems, the mutual reactivity of organic and inorganic compounds in combination, the spectroscopic analysis of hydrocarbon compounds, and applications to specific problems in research, industry, and health.

For all the 12 degrees granted in Organic Chemistry annually, the majority of them are Doctors degree research scholarship. Out of the 12 students graduating with degrees at the Doctors degree research scholarship level in the US, 58% percent identify as men and 42% percent identify as women. Though students at schools all over the country study Organic Chemistry, Iowa has the most graduates. The average starting salary for a graduate with a bachelor's degree in Organic Chemistry is $45,700.
