Chemistry
Understand the world at the molecular level.
Chemistry is often referred to as “the central science” because of its pivotal role in all sciences dealing with matter, including biology, physics, psychology, engineering and medicine. As a chemistry major you’ll take practical classes demonstrating chemistry’s relationship with other natural sciences, and explore its applications in medicine, engineering, business and law. You’ll get experience with modern laboratory equipment that will allow you to solve complex problems.
