Chemistry

Chemistry, the “Central Science”, is essential for understanding the natural world.  The chemistry and physics courses offered at LAS prepare the student for further study in fields involving science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), as well as providing the student with the solid foundation and prerequisite courses required for the biology major and for admission to most health science programs.  Our renowned faculty help make the experience of learning general chemistry and physics, organic chemistry, and biochemistry exciting and fulfilling.  Besides offering courses to complement the biology major and health science courses, the department offers a minor in chemistry. 

Dr. Evan Mintzer serves as the deputy chair for the Chemistry Department.
