Introduction

Want to make a big impact? Start by thinking small—at the molecular level, to be precise. As a chemistry student, you'll get a whole new perspective on everything around you as you study the composition of matter, and then use your knowledge to make our lives better. How? By developing more effective pharmaceuticals, making sure our water is safe to drink, developing new materials for longer-lasting products … the list goes on and on.

What will I learn?

In the classroom, you'll gain a solid understanding of the main areas of chemistry. But you can only learn so much from lectures and textbooks, which is why you’ll spend significant time conducting experiments, building strong lab skills, and using state-of-the-art instruments. You’ll also have opportunities to go (far) beyond, whether it's tackling problems that cross into other majors, learning how to best communicate your findings, or addressing ethical problems involved in chemistry.

Chemistry BA vs. BS

  • The BA is a flexible major that offers a broad-based education
  • The BS is designed for students who are seeking a career as a professional chemist

What can I do outside of class?

Gain practical experience, make strong bonds (no pun intended!) with faculty, and discover your true passions through research. Even as an undergraduate, you can play a key role in a research project. We’re here to help you find the best fit, whether you’re interested in drug discovery, energy storage, imaging, or nearly any other topic. Beyond research, you can join one of our science-focused student organizations, study abroad, or build your experience (and your network) through an internship.
