对于那些对使用化学工具研究生物学问题感兴趣的人，Brandeis提供标准的化学专业课程和化学生物学专业课程。每个课程都可以在学士学位和学士学位两个层次上学习，也可以为那些为期四年的BA / MA联合课程做好了充分准备的人。化学方面也很少。成为化学专业的最重要资格是对化学的兴趣和享受。在化学领域，就像在其他科学领域一样，课程是相互依存的，因此，尽早开始很重要。大多数学生（但不是全部）在第一年学习普通化学和微积分。化学专业需要PHYS 10a，b，11a，b或15a，b（物理I，II），这是物理化学和高级实验
Chemistry strives to understand natural phenomena at the molecular level and connects with physics and mathematics, earth and environmental sciences, and biology and medicine. The chemistry department at Brandeis offers students a world-class education in an intimate setting where faculty and students work closely. Our students develop extensive, practical experience through lab courses and internships.<br>Chemistry majors are encouraged to participate in independent research, which is an important part of a scientific education. Typically 10-12 seniors take Chem 99D and write a senior thesis for departmental honors. Many more sophomores and juniors are working in Department research labs. Our undergraduates have recently co-authored publications in the journals Inorganic Chemistry, Organometallics, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Organic Letters, Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, Chemistry and Biology, Physical Review, Journal of Organic Chemistry, and Chemical Communications.
