Welcome
Do you enjoy applying fundamental concepts along with newly learned skills to complex problems that were previously unsolved?
If this sounds like a challenge you’re willing to take on, Chemistry & Biochemistry is the place for you!
Chemistry comprises the study of matter – from sub-atomic particles to bulk materials – and is sometimes called the “central science.” This will apply to diverse fields such as
- Medicine
- Environmental science
- Alternative-based power sources
- Forensic investigation
- Materials science
- Art conservation
- Energy security
- Nanotechnology
Through rigorous coursework and laboratory experience, students will gain the knowledge and skills necessary to understand and address scientific problems that impact society, ranging from new therapeutics in medicine to “smart” plastics and electronics that respond to dynamic environments.
As scientific issues continuously play a role in national and local policies, having a basic understanding of chemical principles empowers students to become informed citizens that can help maintain progress in society as new and evolving technological advances and concerns become significant.
