Our small faculty/student ratio (1:14) helps to establish good one-on-one interactions. Informal class discussions and participation allow students to gain confidence and develop skills needed in the working world. What classes will I take?

Chemistry

The BA or BS program in Chemistry prepares the students for immediate employment, or graduate and professional school.

Excellent courses are offered in the field of Organic, Physical, Analytical and Inorganic Chemistry. Students can choose courses according to their interest. Our small faculty/student ratio (1:14) helps to establish good one-on-one interactions.

Informal class discussions and participation allow students to gain confidence and develop skills needed in the working world. The instrumentation and laboratory techniques make students more versatile. Students seeking a chemistry major may opt to add a minor or second major in a complimentary area such as Biology, Mathematics, Computer Science or Business Administration.
