The mission of an active, modern, undergraduate program of chemical education goes beyond the training of professional chemists. Chemistry, the science of the changes in matter, is important in other disciplines and in the intellectual lives of students seeking a liberal education.

The Chemistry Department offers a Bachelor of Arts Degree with a Chemistry major. The program is approved by the American Chemical Society as offering a curriculum which meets its criteria for professional

training in Chemistry.  Graduates whose training includes the required course work are certified by the Society.

In addition to the normal chemistry major, the department offers an interdisciplinary Major in Chemistry with an Environmental Chemistry Option.  Minors are offered in Chemistry, Biochemistry and Environmental Chemistry.

Chemistry courses are an important part of the Pre-Pharmacy Program, the Pre-Dental Program and the Pre-Medical Program, as well as many other Allied Health programs.
