Learn from and collaborate with award-wining faculty who are experts in their field and care about your success. All Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry faculty have doctoral degrees and many years of experience. All courses are led by a faculty member, not a T.A., and the size of the campus promotes individualized attention for research and other projects.

Unlike larger institutions, our Blugold faculty are readily accessible outside of class — you will develop strong relationships with these experts, and that makes all the difference. Our faculty and staff put your education first and can’t wait to guide you through the fascinating field of chemistry.
