Chemistry

About

Chemistry studies the structure and fundamental principles of matter. At Assumption, students who declare a chemistry major learn about organic, inorganic, physical, analytical chemistry and biochemistry and gain an understanding of the ways in which they interact. The Testa Science Center provides outstanding laboratory facilities to test the complex and sophisticated scientific theories you discuss in the classroom. With a bachelor's degree in chemistry, you will gain extensive laboratory experiences and develop a high degree of proficiency in the practical aspects of experimentation, instrumentation, and discovery. Chemistry majors at Assumption are prepared for graduate study in chemistry, biochemistry or other science; employment in the industry, teaching or professional study in medicine, dentistry or other health sciences opportunities. Every summer and throughout the academic year, Assumption students pursuing a chemistry degree have opportunities to perform research with Assumption faculty, and at renowned research laboratories. Natural sciences graduates have an 85 percent acceptance rate to medical schools, and an 83 percent acceptance rate to other types of graduate medical programs (dentistry and veterinary schools, etc.) Learning Goals for the Major In Chemistry Assumption University offers two tracks of study in Chemistry: the traditional bachelors degree program and an American Chemical Society (ACS)-approved bachelors degree program, one of the worlds leading sources of authoritative scientific information. The objective of both is to provide the student with knowledge of the fundamental principles governing the structure of matter. The courses are organized to establish a foundation in the basic areas of inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, biochemistry, and analytical chemistry, and to develop an understanding of the unity of Chemistry by relating these basic areas to each other and to other scientific disciplines. The laboratories are designed to develop a degree of proficiency in the practical aspects of experimentation and instrumentation. Through a well-planned choice of electives, a student can prepare for graduate study in chemistry, biochemistry, or some other area of science; for industrial employment; for teaching Chemistry; or for professional study in medicine, dentistry, or other health sciences. Qualified chemistry majors may also pursue a dual degree program leading to a B.A. in Chemistry from Assumption University and a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from The University of Notre Dame. Interested students should contact Professor Jimmy Hauri, Director of the 3:2 Engineering Program.
