The specialization within Chemistry will allow you to design, synthesize, analyze, and understand the chemical building blocks that have a profound effect on our health, environment, and everyday life.

Through choosing Chemistry, students will have the opportunity to explore and expand their creativity in the following major disciplines:

• Organic Synthesis – which targets the synthesis of small molecules and/or polymers that will be used in next-generation antibiotics, drugs, solar cells, batteries, or semiconductors. Organic chemists will hone their skills in the design and synthesis of the active components from the nanoscale to the actual application.
• Analytical Chemistry - offers tools to recognize and analyze pollutants that threaten the global ecosystem. Analytical chemistry uses high-resolution instrumentation to track emerging pollutants from industrial or commercial waste in the oceans, in Earth’s waterbodies, or in the atmosphere.
• Theoretical Chemistry - offers a deep understanding of the physics that govern chemical and engineering processes. This discipline allows students to design and simulate chemical structures and thermodynamic phenomena that will guide the synthesis and improve the materials of tomorrow.
