Apart from the service courses, the department offers the following four-year academic programs leading to: (a) Bachelor of Science in Applied Chemistry (b) Bachelor of Science in Food Technology These degree programs are designed to produce Applied Chemists and Food Technologists who will be able to pursue careers in industry, academia or government sectors. Applied chemists perform analysis, testing and investigations of a wide range of materials. Food technologists are concerned with production, processing, preservation, distribution and utilization of foods. The first year of each course is designed to form a common foundation upon which years 2, 3 and 4 of the separate professional options are based. Entry requirements (any one of the following) i) Grade 12 with minimum B grades in chemistry, physics or biology and major mathematics and minimum C

grade in English; ii) Mature students who have performed with average B grades in adult matriculation courses; iii) Higher Technicians Certificate from Lae Technical College with Credit grades in subjects or its equivalent; iv) A diploma from Goroka Teacher's College with passes in mathematics and science teaching methods or its
