Chemistry

Jeffrey B. Cornelius, Professor

Brian K. Kamusinga, Assistant Professor

The emphasis in the chemistry program is on assisting the students to develop a working knowledge of basic chemical principles and to prepare them for possible careers or graduate training in chemistry.

The B.S. degree is appropriate for students interested in pursuing a professional career in chemistry or chemistry-related fields.

A typical range of undergraduate courses is offered. In addition to the formal coursework taken for the B.S. degree, chemistry majors may also elect to participate in one or more semesters of industrial experience or academic research.

The chemistry program is housed in the Science Center and includes four well-equipped, modern laboratories, a classroom, study areas, a computer room, and faculty offices. The arrangement is such that faculty and fellow students are readily available for consultation and assistance. The laboratories house modern instruments which may be used by all chemistry students.

We recommend an appropriate computer course. Additional courses in mathematics, physics, or applied chemistry may also be recommended.
