Classes are small and emphasize collaboration, giving you teamwork experience that employers value. We designed our building and lab spaces for workshop-style classes, so you'll move seamlessly from lecture to group work to labs.

You'll be well-versed in the fundamentals of general, organic, and physical chemistry-and then choose from popular upper-level courses on medicinal chemistry, forensics, or how to spot scientific mistakes.

Our chemistry students and faculty thrive on close, professional connections with each other as they explore the relationship between chemistry and everyday life.
