Chemistry is central to our search for answers as we explore our world. "What is it?" "How much is there?" "How does this work?" "Why does it do that?" If you?ve ever asked any of these questions, consider studying chemistry to find the solutions. The department offers nine emphasis areas to choose from, and Chemistry is the only department at the U to allow students to declare two emphases.

Regardless of your emphasis area, all chemistry degree programs share a common core of required courses within the department, as well as a group of allied courses in mathematics and physics.

The Student Experience

The Learning Enhancement Center and general and organic chemistry help rooms are excellent academic resources available to Chemistry students. The Department additionally offers many other opportunities for students to connect with others in the chemistry community. Participate in an undergraduate research experience under the guidance of an advisor, join the U?s American Chemical Society Student Chapter, or participate in a study abroad program.
