What you will study

Students graduating with a degree in chemistry will gain skills in a range of areas from reading scientific papers to conducting experiments safely and ethically to learning how to identify and propose solutions to problems that are novel and important. Because research is a foundation for the study of chemistry we believe that all students in the concentration should participate in an authentic research experience by the end of their senior year. Gateway courses include First-year students should enroll in one introductory chemistry course in the fall and one in the spring. There will be an online joint open house held in the summer to allow first-year students to explore the following three courses (information on how to.
