The department of Chemistry provides students with a strong undergraduate education covering a broad spectrum of courses and laboratory work in organic chemistry, physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, and biochemistry.
Many students take elective courses in biology, computer science, business, and engineering.
Instruction is provided by seven full-time faculty members who meet regularly with students both formally and informally. The Department of Chemistry recently received a grant from the National Science Foundation to incorporate molecular modeling into biochemistry, organic chemistry, and computational chemistry. This grant will aid in preparaing Chemistry students to enter the world of modern science.
