Bachelor of Science - Chemistry

Chemistry students gain a unique perspective on the composition, properties, and reactivity of the substances surrounding them. Students gain problem-solving skills that can be applied in chemistry labs, in other classes, and in day-to-day life. By having chemistry faculty with a diverse range of specialties (analytical chemistry, biochemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, and organic chemistry), chemistry majors have the opportunity to learn about each of these fields, and they are provided with a wide variety of research opportunities. Through research, students can synthesize new compounds and make other new scientific discoveries. In addition, chemistry students are trained to independently use modern instrumentation, including a 300 MHz NMR, liquid chromatography, mass spectrometer, and ICP atomic emission spectrophotometer.
