Chemistry, the study of structures and properties of matter, plays an important role in both physical and biological sciences and holds a crucial position in our technologically advanced society. the main objectives of the Chemistry program are: (1)to provide a well-rounded liberal arts education with an insight into the significance of chemistry in everyday life and the enhancement of the quality of our environment; (2) to provide a sound background in the basic fundamentals and techniques of chemistry; and (3) to prepare students to pursue careers in research, teaching, business, industry, medicine, or pharmacy.

Additional Information

The carefully-designed Chemistry program (major and minor) provides a solid background in general, organic, inorganic, analytical, biochemistry, and physical chemistry. Analytical chemistry (CH 308) helps students learn the use of various analytical instruments as well as computer data analysis. Seminar I (CH 401) offers opportunities for chemistry majors to learn the history and philosophy of chemistry and develop an understanding and appreciation for the environment. Seminar II (CH 402) provides students the opportunity to explore chemical phenomena through independent research projects, experimentation, and computer data analysis. Since chemistry is interconnected with physics, biology, and mathematics, students are required to take additional courses in these three areas. A minimum of a “C” (2.0) is required for each course in the Chemistry major or minor. This includes the auxiliary courses. A student earning a grade lower than the minimum acceptable grade in any course in the major or minor may repeat the course only once at Stritch. A student who receives a second unsatisfactory grade in any course in the major or minor will be dismissed from the major or minor field.

Cardinal Stritch University was founded by the Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi in 1937 and was chartered by the State of Wisconsin as a fully-accredited, degree granting institution. Today, Stritch is one of the largest Franciscan institutions of higher education in North America. We offer more than 60 exceptional undergraduate and graduate degree programs that help students develop new skills, gain career-related experience and build professional networks. These academic programs prepare students of all ages, faiths, races and socio-economic backgrounds to succeed in the communities where they live, work, serve and lead.

Stritch is known as an excellent choice for studying business, education, liberal arts, leadership, nursing and the sciences. Students with diverse faith and cultural backgrounds embrace and live our core Franciscan values of creating a caring community, showing compassion, reverencing creation and making peace.
