The American Chemical Society certifies the department’s chemistry program curriculum.
Department offices are located in Richardson Hall along with teaching, instrumentation and research laboratories for introductory, general, organic, physical, analytical and biochemistry courses as well as faculty and student research. Our teachings and lab use abide by the principals of green chemistry, and you should also know the safety protocols before entering the lab.
The Department is dedicated to teaching in a stimulating environment providing ample opportunity for hands-on experimentation and individual research. Our mission is preparing and positioning motivated individuals for careers or advanced studies in chemistry, biochemistry and chemistry-based sciences. This includes fields such as medicine and pharmacology, expedited by our Articulation Programs, biotechnology and bioengineering.
