Chemistry

Class of 2013

A Tradition of Excellence

The faculty and staff of the Department of Chemistry work to maintain an excellent student-centered curriculum, a supportive environment, and a vibrant intellectual community for Chemistry majors and non-majors alike. We strive to mentor students to become ethical, productive members of society who apply their scientific knowledge and skills in a broad range of endeavors.

Our curriculum emphasizes the integration of teaching and research. Consequently, we work with the students as they construct their Chemistry knowledge and develop the skills (laboratory, instrumentation, information literacy, problem solving, oral and written communication, time management) necessary to succeed.
