Chemistry Major

The Chemistry Department curriculum is designed to function as an integral part of the liberal arts program of the College. The courses taken in normal sequence bring the student from general principles through advanced theories to the practical applications of research and industry. Science and non-science majors thus begin together and proceed to a level appropriate for their chosen program.

A major in Chemistry is commonly pursued by students preparing for graduate study in chemistry, positions in industrial or government laboratories, teaching, or study in one of the health sciences. This major provides sufficient depth of achievement in chemistry to satisfy admission requirements for all the professional schools in the health-related areas.
