Chemistry Major

The Chemistry Major Program provides exposure to the course areas of chemistry together with appropriate courses in mathematics during the first two years and allows students to follow a particular area or areas of interest during the third year and fourth year.  The program is extremely flexible in its design in that students may focus their studies in the traditional sub-disciplines of inorganic, analytical, organic, or physical chemistry during the second year, and then progress to take upper-year courses in these areas or in additional sub-disciplines including biological, materials and environmental chemistry.  Students gain extensive laboratory experience throughout the program from whichever path they choose to take.
