Objectives of the Department

The program of courses in Chemistry is primarily intended to provide a sound education, as well as excellent research and technical training. The general aim of the Department is to afford thorough instruction in the fundamental theories and principles and in the basic techniques of science. Particular emphasis is placed upon precision of observation and measurement and upon the application of the scientific method.

Two majors are offered by the Department. 1) The Major in Chemistry (ACS). This major is accredited by the American Chemical Society. 2) The General major in Chemistry. Students who plan to continue their studies in graduate and professional school should elect the ACS option, while those who plan to pursue an advanced degree in health sciences may elect the General major in Chemistry.
