Department Information
Chemistry is the study of matter, its properties, and the changes it undergoes. The department offers three majors. In each major, courses in the first two years emphasize fundamental topics in chemistry, mathematics and physics. Students then choose advanced courses in chemistry and related areas to complete the requirements in their major.
These majors provide opportunities for practical experience in chemistry. For example, students are encouraged to take CHEM 490, Cooperative Education, in which they work in a private or public laboratory facility off campus. Students also are encouraged to do research on campus with a faculty member, and to participate in the department’s seminar program.
A minor in chemistry is offered to supplement career related fields.
Note: In order to graduate, all chemistry majors are required to achieve at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA and a 2.25 GPA in courses required for the major.
