• Studnets investigate the world around themwhile also learning more about themselves and their Creator. The chemistry major at Messiah University, one of the top private Christian universities in the U.S., places special emphasis on the integration of the knowledge and methods of science with what the Christian faith teaches us about people and their role in the universe. Often called the “central science,” chemistry relies heavily on theory from mathematics and physics, and then informs such diverse fields as ecology, agriculture, medicine, molecular biology, genetics, geology, and food science.
  • The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree in chemistry requires the fewest major credits and contains more elective options than either B.S. degree. This degree path was designed for students who might want to use chemistry as a platform for work in business, law, medicine, or high school teaching.
