Mission:

The mission of the Department embraces interdependent aspects of education, research, and service.  In education, the Department seeks to provide a comprehensive education meeting professional guidelines for students majoring in chemistry at both the baccalaureate and masters levels, to provide high quality educational support for majors with a chemistry component in their curriculum, and to educate the general student body about the vitality and relevance of chemistry as a contemporary science.  In scholarship, the Department seeks to expand the boundaries of chemical knowledge while simultaneously encouraging students to expand their intellectual horizons and develop critical-thinking and problem-solving skills through faculty-directed independent undergraduate and graduate research.  In service, faculty members are expected to serve as advisors, mentors, and career counselors to students and to use their expertise in service to the University, the profession of chemistry, and the larger community.
