Chemistry
Chemistry is the study of properties of materials, syntheses of compounds, characterization and determiniation of structures of compounds, measurement of reaction kinetics and understanding the mechanisms of chemical processes.
Here's what Chemistry students can do for you:
AREAS COVERED BY CHEMISTRY COURSES
Courses are offered in analytical, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry, and in biochemistry.
