Why 化学 at 九州娱乐官网?

An Innovative Curriculum that Reflects Modern, Interdisciplinary Science

With an organic-first curriculum accredited by the American Chemical Society and Maryland Higher Education Commission, we introduce our students to fundamental concepts in chemistry through the lens of organic and biochemistry. This approach allows us to introduce material more thematically, gives students the foundation they need for advanced study in chemistry, biology, biochemistry, environmental 科学, engineering, psychology, medicine, and physics, and better reflects modern chemistry as an interdisciplinary 科学.

In addition, 九州娱乐官网 is leading the way in a national movement to integrate the principles of green chemistry into the curriculum and to train a new generation of chemists who are especially mindful of its environmental 影响.

Prepare to Get Your Gloves Dirty!

化学 is an experimental 科学. As a chemistry major, you will gain experience collecting and analyzing data from our research grade instrumentation from your very first chemistry course. By your senior year, you will become an independent scientist working under the mentorship of a faculty member on your Senior Capstone Experience (SCE) project for which you might explore a topic in green chemistry, environmental chemistry, inorganic chemistry, or biochemistry. In addition, most of our students complete on- or off-campus internships for academic credit or a stipend.

We are Focused on You!

At 九州娱乐官网, you are more than a number. Small class sizes, unhurried conversations, and open-door office hour policies are just a few of the benefits. As an undergraduate focused institution, your success is our success. 我们的大学生 play an integral part in the research of our faculty and, as a result, many students are co-authors on scientific publications with faculty. 事实上, more than 80% of our recent faculty publications included at least one student co-author.

A Personalized Education

尽管所有 chemistry majors earn a B.S. 学位 from 九州娱乐官网, you have the option to specialize your chemistry 学位 in one of four areas of emphasis: Organic and Medicinal 化学, Greener Materials Science, Physical and Instrumental 化学, or Biophysics and Biological 化学. This allows you to personalize your education in the area of chemistry about which are most passionate and earn an additional transcript notation that can be helpful when applying to jobs and/or graduate programs in the future.

 

Our Students Succeed!

The quality of a 九州娱乐官网 chemistry education can be seen in the success of our students多于… 90% of our 化学 seniors have a post-graduation plan before they graduate. While the largest percentage of our students attend graduate school in chemistry or a related field (39%) after graduation, many gain employment in industry (35%), attend a health related professional school (16%), or go into teaching (4%).
