Being a chemist means looking at the world and solving problems at the molecular level. For example, destruction of stratospheric ozone is comprehensible only when the chemistry behind it is understood, and remediation must be based on this same chemical understanding. You will study all of the main subfields of chemistry. Your degree will prepare you to make a career in industry or to proceed to post graduate study in chemistry, business, law etc. Many of the important questions in modern chemistry arise at the interfaces between chemistry and fields like biochemistry, pharmacology, microbiology, materials science, polymers, earth sciences, and environmental science. Thus, work or further study in these fields will also be open to you.

Note to Chemistry Majors!
CHEM 477 will be offered in the spring semester only.  

Undergraduate Program main office is located in 149 GSMN.
