Chemistry is a fundamental science, connecting math and physics to environmental science and to biology and medicine.
Chemical reactions are the basis of all life on earth.
Everything we are or do depends in one way or another on chemistry. A bachelor's degree in chemistry is excellent preparation for a rewarding career. A major in chemistry prepares you for a variety of careers in industry, education, ecology, and public service. Chemists, as a group, enjoyed salary increases substantially in excess of the rate of inflation. Our students have the opportunity to conduct independent research and present their work at national and international meetings.
