Chemistry is the core science of other physical sciences, the life sciences and some of the behavioral sciences. The study of chemistry focuses on the elements of matter, their composition, reactivity and interaction. It also explores the processes of change in material forms such as gas, liquids and solids.
Biochemistry is the study of the interrelationship between biology and chemistry.
It emphasizes molecular composition. The study of biochemistry provides a broad foundation in the sciences and an ideal preparation for further study and careers in medicine, pharmacology, medicinal chemistry and research. While attending Susquehanna students have the opportunity to participate in research projects being conducted by faculty members in physical chemistry, environmental chemistry and biochemistry. In addition to research students may participate in chemistry internships in industry or at other universities. Internships can be arranged through the University's Center for Career Services, the Chemistry Department or on your own.
