Description
Chemistry majors complete courses providing a solid background in the physical sciences and mathematics, together with a sequence of courses in general, organic, inorganic and physical chemistry. Lecture classes are complemented by laboratories that give hands-on experience in chemical methods and instrumentation. The department also strongly encourages undergraduate students to become involved in laboratory research under the supervision of a faculty member. Undergraduate research is an outstanding learning opportunity that cannot be found in class work alone.
The Pre-Medical Emphasis is designed for students interested in medicine, dentistry, and related health professions. It includes a strong curriculum in chemistry as well as courses in the biological sciences required by professional schools.
