WHAT IS CHEMISTRY?
Chemistry is about creativity. Chemists design and create new molecules and explore their properties and reactivities. Putting this creative knowledge to work, chemists team up with biologists, pharmacologists, engineers, materials scientists and environmental professionals to reveal secrets of life’s building blocks. Students also have opportunities to conduct extensive laboratory research projects.
