化学专业侧重于物质组成和行为的研究，强调动手学习。学生参加化学的所有子学科的基础讲座和实验室课程：分析，生物化学，无机，有机和物理。在这些领域，以及在环境，材料，核和聚合物等跨学科领域的课程中，都有机会参加高级课程。通过使用现代化的实验室和最先进的仪器，与教职员工一起参与本科生研究，进一步提高了本科生的经验。进行研究和呈现结果将建立技术，批判性思维和沟通技巧，这被研究生院，专业学校以及行业和政府雇主高度重视。
The Chemistry major focuses on the study of the composition and behavior of matter, emphasizing hands-on learning. Students take foundational lecture and laboratory courses in all sub-disciplines of chemistry: analytical, biochemistry, inorganic, organic and physical. There are opportunities to take advanced courses in these areas, as well as courses in cross disciplinary areas such as environmental, materials, nuclear and polymers. The undergraduate experience is further enhanced by participation in undergraduate research with a faculty member, using modern laboratories and state-of-the-art instrumentation. Conducting research and presenting results builds technical, critical thinking and communication skills that are highly valued by graduate and professional schools, as well as industry and government employers.
