Department of Chemistry

Welcome, from the Chair of Chemistry

The department provides an opportunity for students to explore the nature and significance of chemistry, considered by many as the “Central Science.” Achievements in chemistry have allowed us to know more about ourselves and the world around us. The student of chemistry will become aware of the special way that chemists view the world, the nature of chemical experimentation, its results and their significance within the fields of science and human exploration.

The department prides itself in offering a quality education which allows students at all levels to learn to think critically. In addition to students acquiring knowledge through coursework, the department also provides opportunities for learning through research.

The Bachelor’s degrees provide excellent preparation for graduate study in chemistry as well as for professional degrees in medicine, dentistry, business and education.
