The Department of Chemistry and Physics offers Bachelor of Science degrees in chemistry, interdisciplinary sciences and physics with tracks in traditional physics, civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and comput- ing emphasis. A new track in astrophysics and a chemical physics program are currently being developed. Minors are also offered in chemistry and physics. In conjunction with the College of Education and Human Services, B.A.E. and M.A.E. degrees with majors in chemistry, general sciences and physics are offered.
The importance of chemistry and physics in the economic and intellectual life of the 21st century is obvious to thoughtful individuals. The increased use of complex technologies in agriculture, defense, health care, manufacturing and other industries indicates that the value of understanding science will continue to increase for individuals and society. The department faculty is committed to excellence in undergradu- ate instruction, and has the objective of producing competent baccalaureate scientists, while remaining current through active research programs.
By a judicious choice of courses, students can obtain credit for graduation through participation in the research programs of individual faculty members. Currently, students are involved in research on chemical and enzyme catalysis, NMR studies of drugs and related molecules, isotope effects,
theoretical and physical chemistry, flow injection analysis, experimental and theoretical properties of magnetic semicon- ductors and high-Tc superconductors, experimental and computational nuclear physics, experimental membrane, interface, and sensor physics.
