The Chemistry Department at Barnard College provides undergraduate programs for students aiming to specialize in physical and life sciences, as well as those exploring broader liberal arts education. Students can pursue ACS-accredited majors or minors in both chemistry and biochemistry.
Through a three-year core curriculum, learners develop expertise across fundamental chemistry disciplines: inorganic, organic, physical, analytical, and biological chemistry. Hands-on lab experiences equip students for advanced research in graduate studies or professional settings. The department features state-of-the-art laboratories for both structured coursework and self-directed projects, with opportunities for faculty-mentored research during semesters or summer breaks.
