The Department of Chemistry offers majors in chemistry, biochemistry, natural science with a concentration in chemistry, and a dual degree in chemistry and mathematics.
We offer a minor in chemistry and sustainability studies.
Practical skills, real research:
- 100% of our graduates over the last five years are employed or enrolled in graduate school.
- Students gain experience with our state-of-the-art instrumentation that includes: nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, atomic absorption, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and high-performance liquid chromatography. All of our major instruments are less than five years old.
