Chemistry is the ''central science.'' Such diverse subjects as art, anthropology, geology, biology, materials science, environmental science, nursing, pharmacy, dentistry, medicine and psychology have areas in which fundamental principles and process details are understood in terms of chemistry. Our undergraduate program offers BA and BS degrees with a BS/American Chemical Society certification option and with BS/emphases in biological and materials chemistry. In addition to the traditional areas of analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry, we have faculty in a number of fertile cross-disciplinary areas such as bioanalytical, bioorganic and biophysical chemistry, electrochemistry, environmental chemistry, photochemistry, and materials chemistry.
