The chemistry curriculum provides an excellent understanding and appreciation of chemistry in nature and technology. Courses and undergraduate research focus on how chemistry can be used to find solutions to contemporary problems such as energy, the environment, materials, and renewability of resources. To meet its mission, the department is well-equipped with state of the art instrumentation that undergraduate students use as early as their freshman year. At Rose you will find chemistry students working shoulder to shoulder with some of the brightest
students from many different technical disciplines.
The department offers an American Chemical Society (ACS) approved major and a minor in chemistry. A biochemistry-molecular biology as a second degree is also available. The curriculum has the following outstanding features:
- A solid
foundation
in the
fundamentals,
