Our Department is located on the third and first floors of the Oxendine Science Building, a facility that provides state of the art classroom, computing, and laboratory spaces.

We offer the Bachelor of Science degree with majors in Chemistry, Applied Physics, and Biotechnology (in conjunction with the UNCP Biology Department), and we also provide pre-engineering coursework for students wishing to transfer to engineering degree programs at other UNC system schools.

The faculty in our Department are all advanced-degreed professionals dedicated to providing students a high quality undergraduate experience in the chemical and physical sciences.

Students completing our degree programs are successful in gaining admission to a variety of graduate and professional schools, as well as securing immediate post-graduation employment with government agencies and private industries.
