About this Program
The chemistry major combines study in the discipline with a broadly based liberal arts education.
Program Overview
Students gain valuable experience with modern instrumentation and the methods of scientific investigation through their coursework. The department focuses specifically on providing extensive laboratory experience to all students, to complement a thorough grounding in chemical theory.
Class projects and presentations develop the students’ ability to speak clearly and write cogently on scientific topics. Advanced students are encouraged to conduct independent projects and to participate in the wide variety of research opportunities and internship positions available on campus or at professional laboratories in the Frederick and Baltimore-Washington, D.C. area.
With the excellent grounding in both theory and research, you may choose to pursue chemistry in graduate school or study law, specialize in forensics, teach at the high school level or work at a biotech firm.
For more information see the Course Catalog.
The Chemistry Minor
