CHEMISTRY:

• The study of chemistry provides an understanding of matter and how it undergoes physical and chemical transformations into the near-infinite forms it can take.
• Chemistry has a profound influence on our everyday lives, and chemical knowledge is central to our understanding of biological and environmental problems:
  • Chemicals are added to food and water for health, preservation, and taste
  • Synthetic polymers are used in place of natural materials in furniture and clothing
  • Major modes of transportation use chemical reactions to produce energy needed for motion.
  • The human body manufactures hormones and enzymes that regulate the living process.
  • Medicine cabinets are stocked with drugs whose chemistry affects the state of body and mind.
• Chemistry is truly pervasive in all aspects of our lives.
• The Chemistry Program at Ãå±±ÖØ¿Ú is approved by the American Chemical Society (ACS) and students can receive an ACS certified degree if they select the required electives (see four year plan)
• Four-Year Plan of Courses 

BIOCHEMISTRY:

• A Bachelor’s degree in biochemistry provides the essential background and training that can open a variety of career pathways for students upon graduation.
• The biochemistry major is excellent preparation for professional studies in the health sciences:
  • For secondary school teaching in the biological and physical sciences
  • For research in the pharmaceutical and chemical industry
  • For technical writing, sales, and service; and as the basis for graduate studies
• The combination of chemistry, molecular biology, enzymology, and genetic engineering found in biochemistry provides the foundation to contribute to the rapidly expanding field of biotechnology.
• Graduating biochemistry majors have the opportunity to receive an ACS certified degree.
