Chemistry Department
The Department of Chemistry serves students who have an interest
in chemical sciences and those planning careers in various medical
areas. The department has the following objectives:
- To give a thorough grounding in the principles of chemistry,
both in theory and in practical experience within instrumentation
currently in use.
- To help the student develop problem-solving abilities through
a careful analysis of problems and the application of chemical
principles.
- To provide an atmosphere where Christian values are cherished
and the use of the intellect is integrated into the learning experience.
The department offers several degree options. The B.S. with a major
in chemistry should be selected by the student intending to enter
chemistry as a profession. The chemistry major with an emphasis
in biochemistry is appropriate for those who intend to enter a professional
program in one of the medical sciences.
Students more interested in the liberal arts and languages may choose
the B.A. program in chemistry. Those interested in a primary- or
secondary-school teaching career may choose the B.S. with a major
in natural science.
