Chemistry is often referred to as the central science, because chemistry plays a vital role in most other science disciplines. Specifically, biochemistry sits at the interface between biology and chemistry. ?An undergraduate degree in chemistry with the biochemistry track prepares students for a wide variety of careers, both in and out of the laboratory.?

Students work side by side with excellent faculty in exceptional facilities performing exciting research that prepares them for graduate school or going directly into industry. Students can present their research at a number of conferences including the American Chemical Society national meeting.

Our department's professors specialize in many different areas of chemistry, which provides a broad and complete coverage of the field.? This allows?professors to teach in their areas of specialty and provides opportunities for students completing undergraduate research?to work with faculty members who are researching in areas of interest to students. The?hands-on research and experience our students gain, in addition to excellent training by faculty members, can give them an advantage toward future success.
