The Chemistry program is committed to providing an inclusive, engaging, and rigorous learning environment where all students feel welcomed and supported in their academic journey. Chemistry is foundational to understanding the world around us. The program equips students with critical thinking, problem-solving, and scientific reasoning skills that are essential in today’s complex and diverse society.
The program serves a broad spectrum of students, including:
- Students majoring in chemistry or related scientific fields,
- Students pursuing careers in the health sciences, and
- Students completing general education science requirements.
Courses emphasize active learning and hands-on experiences, with laboratory components playing a central role. Students work directly with a wide range of scientific instruments, preparing them for professional work or further study.
Students intending to transfer to a four-year institution to major in chemistry or biochemistry are encouraged to meet with a counselor early in their academic career. Transfer requirements can vary by university, and personalized academic planning helps ensure that all necessary lower-division coursework is completed for a smooth transition.
