Why study chemistry?
Chemistry is often referred to as the central science
because of the way that it brings together mathematics,
physics and computer science with biology, medicine,
environmental science, forensic science, and earth
science. It can involve either basic or applied studies in the
broad areas of physical, organic, analytical, inorganic, or
biochemistry. Understanding chemistry is fundamental to
understanding the physical world around us.
Why Professional Option?
This program of study is approved by the American
Chemistry Society, and it is recommended for those who
plan to become professional chemists. It provides a strong
background for either graduate school or a career in
industry.
