Chemists play a central role in addressing many of our world鈥檚 most pressing challenges, and the career prospects for well-trained chemical professionals continue to be excellent. Positions in chemically and biochemically aligned industries rank among the most well-compensated for college graduates and these sectors are projected to grow in size and scope for the foreseeable future. Virtually everything we interact with in our day-to-day lives has been made, modified, characterized or studied using chemical reactions and tools. The ubiquity of the chemical sciences ensures that there will be exciting job opportunities for chemistry professionals in both traditional fields and emerging sectors such as nanotechnology, energy and environmental sustainability, high-performance materials, chemical computing, and advanced manufacturing techniques.

At its core, chemistry is the study of matter and its transformations - it is often referred to as the 鈥渃entral science鈥� given its multidisciplinary nature. Our students work with enthusiastic faculty that are teaching and research leaders at the forefront of their fields and enjoy direct hands-on access to cutting-edge equipment and instrumentation, ensuring they are well-prepared to hit the ground running when they enter the work force. Our program鈥檚 curriculum, which is certified by the American Chemical Society, helps students gain a foundation in chemistry across all the traditional areas of our field. Coursework covers topics that span a continuum ranging from understanding the structure, properties and behaviour of atoms, to molecules, materials, composites, and complex chemical and biological systems. In addition, our curriculum goes past conveying fundamental scientific knowledge by providing dedicated opportunities for students to engage in scientific inquiry while refining their critical thinking, analytical reasoning and problem-solving abilities. Through laboratory work and traditional classes our students also hone technical and professional skills needed to succeed after they graduate. Our prioritization of high-quality instruction and student development positions our students for gainful employment after graduation or to explore advanced degrees in STEM, medicine, law and other fields.
