Welcome to the Department of Chemistry

The Department of Chemistry is a leading producer of BS and MS chemists, recently ranking 20th in the country for B.S. degrees. The success of the Department’s programs derives from a tradition of close mentoring of students, excellence in classroom instruction, and hands-on laboratory training. With over $1 million in external grant funding to chemistry faculty each year, students find premier research opportunities and learn to use state-of-the-art instruments.
