BA/BS in Chemistry

Chemistry is taught as a process and a way of thinking, part of the wider natural sciences. Students tackle interdisciplinary, real-world problems, often working where chemistry meets biology or environmental study. Coursework is available on campus and across the five-college consortium, covering analytical, organic, and environmental chemistry as well as biochemistry. The curriculum draws on recent developments in analytical methods. A well-equipped instrumentation laboratory supports student research in areas such as environmental science, sustainable agriculture, geology, and health fields. Each student builds an individual plan of study.
