Chemistry explores all aspects of the physical world and living organisms at their most basic molecular and atomic levels.
Students gain comprehensive knowledge across five key chemistry disciplines: analytical, biochemical, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry.
Classroom theories are put into practice through hands-on laboratory sessions and research opportunities for undergraduates.
The Chemistry Department provides ACS-accredited bachelor's programs with specialized tracks in physical chemistry, polymer chemistry, and biochemistry. Advanced degrees include MS and PhD programs focusing on organic, inorganic, physical, analytical, and biological chemistry. The faculty's cutting-edge research has global recognition and receives substantial funding from prestigious organizations such as the National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health.
