用最简单的术语来说，化学是物质科学。可以触摸，品尝，嗅到，看到或感觉到的任何东西都是由化学物质制成的。化学家是将我们周围的日常材料变成令人惊奇的事物的人。一些化学家致力于治疗癌症，而另一些化学家则在监测臭氧层，以保护我们免受阳光照射。还有其他人发现新材料，使我们的房屋在冬天变暖，或者发现新纺织品用于最新时尚。化学家可以从事多种职业，包括工业，学术界，政府和医学职业。<br> <br>这是与生物科学与化学系（艺术与科学学院）和奎伦医学院生物化学系攻读博士学位。在生物医学科学领域。学生可以主修生物学（生物化学
In the simplest of terms, chemistry is the science of matter. Anything that can be touched, tasted, smelled, seen, or felt is made of chemicals. Chemists are the people who transform the everyday materials around us into amazing things. Some chemists work on cures for cancer while others monitor the ozone layer protecting us from the sun. Still others discover new materials to make our homes warmer in the winter, or new textiles to be used in the latest fashions. There are a multitude of careers available to chemists including positions in industry, academics, government, and medical careers. This is a joint concentration with the Department of Biological Sciences and Chemistry (College of Arts and Sciences) and the Department of Biochemistry (Quillen College of Medicine) for the Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences. Students may major in either Biology (Biochemistry concentration) or Chemistry (Biochemistry concentration), but cannot double major with the same concentration of Biochemistry. Coursework is required in both departments. The Chemistry Department’s Biochemistry concentration is approved by the American Chemical Society (ACS) and as such it is subject to change upon notice from the ACS. The student should consult frequently with an advisor to ensure completion of the major in a judicious manner.
