Bacharel em Ciências - Química

Basic knowledge of – and appreciation for – chemistry is vital in today’s highly technical society. Humans, planet Earth, and the rest of the universe are chemical entities; to overlook this is to lose a very important perspective on the nature of humanity and its connection to the world around them. To arrive at conclusions concerning the nature and meaning of life without this perspective would be as misleading as ignoring perspectives in philosophy, biology, religion, world civilization, government, sociology, psychology, the arts, and other facets of the liberal arts curriculum.

The Chemistry Department provides basic information to non-majors and more extensive information to majors allowing them to better assess the roles of the individual and humanity within their environment. Our approach includes descriptions of structure and organization, laws and relationships, and practical implications of both. By its nature, the third objective of the mission statement requires the bulk of our attention and effort. It is a primary responsibility to provide a solid academic background in chemistry so that our students can function productively in their field.

The University of La Verne is a private not-for-profit university located in La Verne, California, United States, about 35 miles east of Los Angeles.

Founded in 1891, the university is composed of the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Business and Public Management, the LaFetra College of Education, the College of Law, eight regional campuses throughout Southern California, and robust online offerings. Scholastic opportunities abound, thanks to more than 50 undergraduate programs, more than 20 master’s degrees, four doctorates, and six credential programs.

Across all of the colleges, La Verne’s more than 7,000 traditional age and adult learners help make the university one of the most diverse universities in the nation. Nearly half of the traditional undergraduates are first-generation students – the first in their immediate families to attend college. More than 70 per cent of University of La Verne students receive some form of financial aid.
