Introduction
Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry
At Hanover, students use chemistry to better understand the issues faced by modern society. Maybe your interest is life-saving antibiotics or new kinds of synthetic fibers. Maybe you want to learn how to measure pesticides in drinking water or the antioxidants in food. It's all possible to explore in the superbly equipped labs at your disposal.
You'll begin with an introduction to the breadth of chemistry, followed by a deeper study of advanced subjects. Your program will culminate with a collaborative research project in which you'll explore an area of interest to you, with the help from a member of Hanover's highly specialized faculty. Along the way, you will become a person who speaks the language of chemistry, thinks critically and solves problems.
