Chemistry is the study of matter and the changes that it undergoes.
Many of the scientific and technological advances that aid our daily life are dependent upon the work of chemists. The University of Scranton encourages a strong college preparatory program in high school with a minimum of four years of English, three years of mathematics, social science and science, and at least two years of a foreign language with additional units taken in acceptable academic areas. You will receive hands-on experience in using this sophisticated equipment as early as your freshman year. You are also eligible to apply for a graduate assistantship at the University for your fourth and fifth years, giving you the opportunity to teach and further enhance your professional development.
