Overview

APU’s chemistry major equips students to explore the chemical foundations of our world. The degree provides a solid foundation in general, organic, analytical and physical chemistry, quantitative and instrumental analysis, physics, and Calculus. These then provide a framework for in-depth study of advanced chemistry concepts and related fields such as thermodynamics, kinetics, and quantum mechanics.

Throughout the program, students are encouraged to think about ethical conduct in research and a Christian’s role in the scientific community. Chemistry majors leave APU prepared to investigate the chemical reactions and energy that surround us.
