About the Courses
CHEMISTRY MAJOR
About the major.
While working toward a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from the Mount, you’ll learn about organic chemistry and carbon-containing molecule compound chemistry, inorganic chemistry, atomic and molecular structure, stoichiometry, gases and thermochemistry. You’ll also study physical chemistry as it relates to quantum and statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, spectroscopy, chemical kinetics and reaction dynamics. Additionally, introductory biochemistry and analytical chemistry, including analyzing inorganic elements and organic compounds in environmental, forensic and industrial applications will also be covered.
You’ll gain lab experience, developing techniques that will improve your research skills, enhancing your application to graduate school or providing a skill set for a career in industry.
