The study of Chemistry provides a fascinating and intellectually stimulating foray into the molecular underpinnings of the world around us, and through independent study, an opportunity to participate first hand in cutting edge research that spans a wide range of disciplines in the molecular sciences.

Our department offers paths to help you major in the field, as well as courses to help non-majors meet requirements from other disciplines. In addition, some students may opt to sample our offerings simply for the challenge of discovery that chemistry brings.
