Personal instruction Throughout your years at Central, you'll receive plenty of attention from the chemistry faculty members, which is important in such a complex field. They conduct laboratory sessions as well as teach classes. And they are always available to answer your questions. Classes are large enough to permit a healthy exchange of ideas, yet small enough to allow a close relationship between you and your professors. The Vermeer Science Center houses the departments of biology, chemistry, and physics.
