About the Program Chemistry is the study of the properties, the composition, and the structure of matter, the changes that occur in matter, and the energy that is released or absorbed during these changes.
Chemistry is an experimental science with a solid foundation in theory.
The general aim of chemistry is to discover everything possible about the characteristics of matter. Biochemistry is the application of chemistry to the study of the structures and functions of living organisms. The program in chemistry at the bachelor s degree level is planned to develop background in a specific science, to serve as preparation for graduate work in chemistry or biochemistry, and to provide a foundation for those students seeking careers in the chemical sciences, teaching, law, medicine, dentistry, pharmacy and other health-related professions, and in industrial and governmental scientific occupations. All faculty hold Ph.D. degrees in Chemistry or Biochemistry. Corporate executives, physicians, and college professors are numbered among our graduates.
