The Geochemistry Minor is for science students (e.g. chemistry majors) with an interest in the chemical aspects of Earth science.

Introduction to Construction Materials and Calorimetry course will teach you about characterization techniques and how to investigate material failures in construction. The other part of this course is about calorimetry, which is the process of measuring the amount of heat released or absorbed during a chemical reaction. By knowing the change in heat, it can be determined whether or not a reaction is exothermic (releases heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat).

Chemistry provides the connection between molecular concepts and the complex systems found in nature. Our courses stress the understanding of chemical principles, as well as the experimental basis of the science. We provide a strong foundation for graduate work in chemistry, biochemistry, and related areas. We prepare students for careers in industry, teaching, and the medical and health sciences.

The Barnard College Chemistry Department offers courses for undergraduates who plan to major or minor in the physical and life sciences, as well as for students pursuing other liberal arts degrees. The department offers majors and minors in chemistry and biochemistry, both approved by the American Chemical Society. In a three-year sequence of core courses, students gain familiarity with the basic areas of the field: inorganic, organic, physical, analytical, and biological chemistry. Extensive laboratory work prepares students for success in graduate or professional research programs. The department contains modern laboratories designed for coursework and independent projects, and students may undertake independent research projects under faculty guidance during the academic year or over the summer.

Chemistry is the study of the composition, synthesis, physical properties, and transformations of materials, including biological substances, technological materials, and natural products. Through hands-on experience with modern instrumentation throughout the curriculum, a broad array of advanced coursework, and engagement in active discussion and collaboration with the chemistry faculty, the goals of chemistry.

The program in chemistry is designed to meet the needs of students who are pursuing chemistry as part of a pre-professional course or to increase their knowledge of the natural sciences. Our program recognizes that chemistry as a discipline is a core science but is also intertwined with a number of other fields, including physics, biology and math/computer science. In fact, some of the most exciting areas in science today are found in the interdisciplinary fields of chemical physics, chemical biology, theoretical/computational chemistry, environmental studies and materials science.

The Chemistry Department offers chemistry and biochemistry degrees, which are interdisciplinary in nature and deal with the composition, properties, and interactions of substances. They employ techniques from mathematics and physics and have applications in all of the sciences and engineering. The chemistry degree is typically viewed as having five major areas: analytical, biological, inorganic, organic, and physical. The chemistry major at Trinity is structured to provide a balanced presentation of these areas. The biochemistry degree is also structured to focus on learning in these areas but also emphasizes the biological sciences and biological chemistry.

From hands-on experiments with state-of-the-art instrumentation to engagement in original research with faculty, Wabash chemistry majors are continually challenged to become investigators. The Wabash chemistry department possesses an active and enthusiastic faculty, who teach a rigorous curriculum in a modern and well-equipped facility. Wabash chemistry classes emphasize instruction in fundamentals as key to the creative use of chemistry in the classroom and the laboratory. The Wabash College 3D Printing & Fabrication Center serves as a nexus for educational STEM and STEAM activities on campus and is housed in the chemistry department. For specific courses in chemistry at Wabash, check out our curriculum.

Chemistry is an experimental discipline that uses applied principles and new skills to solve scientific problems. Through foundational courses and collaborative research with professors, students gain an understanding of chemical processes and acquire the tools to apply that knowledge in innovative ways. Faculty-mentored student projects emphasize modern techniques and instrumentation and use Colby’s research-grade facilities and laboratories. Recent research has included the synthesis of supramolecular structures, the detection of superoxide in natural water sources, and the molecular basis of cancer therapy.

The Chemistry department is located in Beemon Hall on the Raymond Campus. The department offers a variety of courses and corresponding labs to meet the needs of all academic majors.

A concentration in chemistry gives a fundamental understanding of those chemical processes that affect all our lives, allowing us to make informed choices about a range of issues from energy and food consumption to our relationship to the physical environment. The chemistry concentration also provides a solid background that, when augmented by additional coursework or a second concentration in the sciences, will prepare the student to pursue graduate studies in chemistry or a health-related area. Students with a concentration in chemistry may enter into fields and positions such as biotechnology, environmental chemistry, environmental law, food chemistry, forensics, medicine, and teaching.

Chemistry is the science of molecules: what they are, how they are made, and what they do. We are embedded in a world of naturally occurring and synthetic molecules. A familiarity with chemistry is not only fundamental to other sciences, but is relevant to government, art, economics, and archaeology.

The objective of the undergraduate option in chemistry is to produce graduates articulate in the fundamental concepts of the molecular sciences through a combination of coursework and laboratory experiences. The chemistry program at Caltech provides depth in the traditional areas of chemistry—organic and inorganic chemistry, chemical physics, theoretical chemistry, chemical biology, and biochemistry. Breadth in the program is found within the advanced coursework offerings and the specialized interests of the faculty. Chemical research at Caltech is highly interdisciplinary, reflecting the increasing importance of molecular understanding to many fields of science. Major initiatives are fostering broad collaborations in energy and environment, molecular medicine, and nanomaterials. Students can also pursue Chemistry as a minor at Caltech.

The Chemistry minor at Curry College supports and provides an added dimension and background to understanding the concepts involved in the study of the environment and of life itself. Chemistry courses strongly support those majoring in Biology and Biochemistry, as well as those preparing for careers in nursing, medicine, and technology.
