The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry is committed to providing scientific solutions that address societal needs in an increasingly complex, diverse, and dynamic world. This commitment is demonstrated in our support of the professional and personal development of our undergraduate and graduate students through rigorous courses that promote critical thinking, problem-solving strategies, and active learning in addition to opportunities to participate in research and scholarly activities. The department is similarly committed to the professional development and success of each faculty and staff member as we collectively strive to advance our strategic goals.
