The Department of Chemistry provides broad, balanced coverage of organic, inorganic, physical, analytical, biochemistry, materials, and environmental chemistry. Courses weave together molecular structure, thermodynamics, kinetics, spectroscopy, and reactivity so students can model, predict, and design chemical behavior with confidence.

Practice is central to our approach. Students train in well-equipped teaching and research labs using modern instrumentation (e.g., chromatography, spectroscopy, electrochemistry) and computational tools for molecular modeling. Project-based learning and faculty-mentored research develop precision, documentation discipline, problem-solving, and teamwork—skills prized by employers and graduate programs alike.

By the end of the program, graduates are able to: (1) explain how matter’s structure governs its physical and chemical transformations; (2) apply appropriate theories and models to calculate structure, properties, and reactivity; (3) contribute to industrial solutions in areas such as water treatment and waste management; and (4) evaluate environmental systems—ranging from arid deserts to rainforests—through a chemical lens. With strong analytical foundations and practical competence, our students are ready to excel in industry, academia, and public-sector laboratories.
