Bachelor of Science in Chemistry

Chemistry is in and all around us. From the clothes we wear to the medicine we take, the food we eat, and the cells that make up our bodies, humans are part of a chemical universe.

How can we better understand a world in which everything that we taste, smell, and feel is made of chemical matter? By studying chemistry!

Chemistry is a scientific discipline that addresses the structure, composition, reactivity, and energetics of substances down to their very atoms and molecules. It tells us what substances are made of and how they will behave. And importantly, by understanding chemistry, we can change the world for the better.

The institution grew out of the dedication and vision of Sister Theresa Hackelmeier and the Sisters of St. Francis, Oldenburg, who established a school in Oldenburg, Indiana, in 1851. The college was founded in Oldenburg in 1936 and moved to Indianapolis in 1937. On July 1, 2009, Marian College became Marian University.
