I agree that Fordham is not known as a STEM school. Of its STEM offerings, biology is the strongest. In terms of its chemistry, if I planned a career in chemistry (i.e. planning a PhD in chemistry with an ultimate goal of working in academia or industry) I would not choose Fordham because there are other stronger schools. BUT if my interest in chemistry was for a purpose such as art conservation/restoration, Fordham would be fine.
Typically art conservation/restoration careers require chemistry through the level of Organic Chemistry, so would require Intro Chem I with lab, Intro Chem II with lab, Orgo I with lab, and Orgo II with lab (or may sub Inorganic Chemistry with lab or Biochemistry with lab for Orgo II.) Fordham has enough strength in these classes to be suitable.
So I agree that Fordham would make a good Safety School for this career. If you apply, the Rose Hill campus would be better than the Lincoln Center campus because more of your required classes will be located at Rose Hill (and because it is a lovely defined campus.)
