In the simplest of terms, Chemistry is the science of matter. Anything that can be touched, tasted, smelled, seen, or felt is made of chemicals. Chemists are the people who transform the everyday materials around us into amazing things. Some chemists work on cures for cancer while others monitor the ozone layer protecting us from the sun. Still others discover new materials to make our homes warmer in the winter, or new textiles to be used in the latest fashions. There are a multitude of careers available to chemists including positions in industry, academics, government, and medical careers.

The Chemistry concentration is the recommended concentration for pre-professional students and students preparing for chemically-oriented occupations but whose career goals do not require an American Chemical Society-approved curriculum.
