Introduction
Chemistry deals with phenomena that affect nearly every aspect of our lives and environment. A liberal arts education in this scientific and technological age should include some exposure to the theories, laws, applications, and potential of this science.
Majors in chemistry and biochemistry are offered. The chemistry curriculum is sufficiently flexible to allow students with career interests in health professions, law, business, and education to design a major program suitable to their goals. Students interested in chemistry or biochemistry careers will find chemistry electives that provide a strong background for work in graduate school, industry, or other positions requiring a strong foundation in chemistry. The American Chemical Society (ACS) approved the department and its curriculum, and an ACS-certified major is offered.
