Chemistry is the study of matter, what it is made of, how it changes, and how it can be turned into new substances. Chemistry is central to the search for answers as people explore the world. "What is it?" "How much is there?" "How does this work?" "Why does it do that?" If a student has ever asked any of these questions, they can consider studying chemistry to find the solutions. The department offers nine emphasis areas to choose from, and Chemistry is the only department at the U to allow students to declare two emphases.

Available tracks include:

• Atmospheric & Environmental Chemistry
  
• Biology
• Business
• Chemical Engineering
• Geology
• Material Sciences and Engineering
• Mathematics
• Physics
• Professional Chemistry (the traditional chemistry curriculum)
• Teaching

Regardless of emphasis area, all chemistry degree programs share a common core of required courses within the department, as well as a group of allied courses in mathematics and physics.
