在这个用途广泛的专业中，您将研究物质的组成，结构，性质和反应，尤其是原子，元素和分子系统。化学系的教师通过课程和研究机会，为追求化学本科学位的学生提供了一个养育却充满挑战的环境。我们系的本科生通常在化学课程中获得45个学士学位的学士学位，并获得36个学分的文学士学位。提供的课程从基础水平的通用化学到有机化学的两个学期顺序，以及物理，有机和无机化学的高级课程。
Chemistry, the science concerned with the composition, structure, properties, and reactions of matter, especially of atomic, elemental, and molecular systems, is taught through courses in analytical, biological, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry and through direct participation in original research. Undergraduate majors in chemistry may elect one of four programs, two leading to a B.A. degree, with an emphasis in either chemistry or biological chemistry, and two leading to the B.S. degree with an emphasis in either chemistry or medical chemistry Either B.A. degree program requires fewer credits in chemistry than the B.S. option, and yet provides a foundation in the discipline adequate for either immediate professional engagements or for graduate studies. Students studying for a B.S. degree in chemistry gain a more extensive background as they fulfill a broader range of requirements, they must file a petition with the department chair indicating their intent to secure the B.S. degree before it can be awarded.
