化学在每个人的生活中都扮演着重要的角色。化学家研究形成所有物质的基本分子的结构和相互作用。它们是设计新涂层的最前沿，使飞机能够避免被发现，或者保护建筑物和桥梁免受腐蚀，这是我们这个时代的其他技术进步。他们利用自己的知识来分析犯罪现场的证据，或帮助诊断疾病。化学的进步对于食品和燃料的生产，新型更有效的药物以及新型和改良材料的开发至关重要，例如粘合剂，燃料，化妆品，油漆，润滑剂，陶瓷和数千种其他产品。作为化学专业的学生，​​您将学习构成地球，生物和人造产物的基本分子。化学研究打开了整个职业世界，毕业生可以利用
Chemistry is at the heart of discoveries and development of new and improved materials and products. A degree in chemistry provides you with solid foundation of knowledge and research experience for admission to professional/graduate schools, as well as careers in science and technology.<br><br>We offer a chemistry degree approved by the American Chemical Society, an assurance of its quality. Our industrial colleagues recognize our program as excellent preparation for careers in the field. Our well-established faculty provide a wide range of research opportunities and small classes that offer individualized attention.<br><br>The first two years include general chemistry and organic chemistry plus math and physics as the core course areas. The last two years are based on a rotation scheme for upper level courses including biochemistry and analytical, physical and inorganic chemistries. Faculty-mentored research is a requirement of the program.
