化学专业使有创造力的个人能够将其分析，数学，沟通技巧应用到从亚原子到细胞水平的世界调查中。我们严格而引人入胜的化学课程着重于将理论原理与实验室实践联系起来。您将在我们的科学与药学中心的教室和实验室中学习和工作，该中心拥有4,000万个设施，为学生提供了利用先进的最新技术和仪器（例如核磁共振）的机会<br> <br>从营养，新药和人类健康，到涂料，油漆和塑料，再到为电话，汽车和家庭供电，化学影响着我们的世界。化学家整合了科学技术，以促进药物，化妆品，聚合物，农药，着色剂，化学传感器和测试试剂（仅举几例）的设
The Chemistry major enables creative individuals to apply their analytical, mathematical, and communication skills to the investigation of the world from the subatomic to the cellular level. Our rigorous and engaging Chemistry curriculum focuses on connecting theoretical principles to laboratory practice. Youll enjoy learning and working in the classrooms and laboratories of our Center for the Sciences and Pharmacy, a 40 million facility that provides students with the opportunity to utilize sophisticated state-of-the-art technology and instrumentation such as nuclear magnetic resonance and gas-chromatography mass spectrometry. From nutrition, new drugs, and human health, to coatings, paints, and plastics, to powering our phones, cars, and homes, chemistry impacts everything in our world. Chemists integrate science and technology to facilitate the design, synthesis, and analysis of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, polymers, pesticides, colorants, chemical sensors, and test reagents (to name a few). They conduct cutting-edge research for major universities and chemical industries, they educate students, and they serve the public by working for the government and other entrepreneurial institutions. Additionally, a bachelor's degree in chemistry is excellent preparation for students interested in pursuing graduate studies in the sciences or a career in medicine, healthcare, or veterinary science.<br><br>The course and laboratory work required to complete the chemistry major will provide you with a strong foundation in basic chemical and physical principles, as well as in-depth knowledge of biochemistry, analytical, organic, inorganic, and physical chemistry. Since our upper-level chemistry courses have small class sizes, individualized access to equipment and instrumentation is always the rule This emphasis on hands-on laboratory experience will prepare you well for your future career. You may also supplement your chemistry course work by choosing to complete elective and/or independent study courses in toxicology, polymer science, advanced organic synthesis, and/or pharmaceutical chemistry.
