Chemistry

Those who study chemistry will gain a broad understanding of Chemistry is the study of the creation, properties, and reactions of the natural and synthetic substances that constitute the world around us. Students of chemistry are well-positioned to pursue careers in medicine, sustainability, toxicology, engineering, fuel science, food science, and more!

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry offers four undergraduate programs and strives to give students a strong theoretical background and the ability to apply what they know to a wide range of biological, chemical and physical systems. An “experimental” component to each program allows students to get more intimately involved with science through research or practice, and to develop a greater sense of identity as a chemist or biochemist. Students are prepared upon graduation to work as chemists and biochemists in academic, industrial and governmental settings. In addition, these programs of study provide an excellent foundation for advanced studies in biochemistry, chemistry and related graduate programs as well as professional schools in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy and osteopathy.
