化学是对物质的组成，结构，性质和转化的研究。化学专业在五个主要化学分支–有机，无机，分析，物理和生物化学领域为学生提供广泛的现代化学知识和实验室技能。生物化学集中旨在服务于专业前的学生以及希望在化学生物学界面上从事研究生工作的学生。任何化学浓度的学生均可获得化学学院确定的美国化学会认证。化学部门定义了特定的认证领域，包括但不限于纯化学，生物化学和环境化学。这些领域的认证要求超出了三个主要方向的课程要求。
Chemistry is the study of the composition, structure, properties and transformations of matter. The chemistry major exposes students to wide range of modern chemical knowledge and laboratory skills in the five main branches of chemistry organic, inorganic, analytical, physical and biochemistry. The biochemistry concentration is intended to serve pre-professional students and those who wish to pursue graduate work at the chemistry-biology interface.
