Chemistry Associate Faculty

Chemistry Associate Faculty

Chemistry emphasizes the study of matter - its properties, composition, and the transformations it undergoes – while building strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Students gain experience with the scientific process, research methods, and effective communication of scientific results. Chemistry courses prepare students for transfer into four-year degrees in chemistry, biochemistry, pre-medicine, and related fields through a strong foundation in theory and hands-on laboratory experience.

Coursework emphasizes conceptual understanding, data analysis, and the application of chemistry to real-world challenges such as developing new materials, advancing medicine, and creating sustainable solutions to real-world problems.

Examples of courses taught include:

• CHEM& 121:
  Introduction to Chemistry
