It's your time to Transform

Student ProfilesThe mission of the 化学 部门 at Aquinas College is to provide students with knowledge of chemistry befitting their goals: for the general education students that they become literate in basic chemistry; and for the science major students that they possess the knowledge and skills necessary for them to succeed in their post-baccalaureate 职业生涯.

The American Chemical Society guidelines for professional training are the basis for the chemistry curriculum. Courses in general, inorganic, organic, analytical and physical chemistry form the framework of the program. In addition, courses in biochemistry, environmental chemistry, and advanced topics are offered regularly.

Students are expected to attend lectures, participate in laboratory work and become involved in research.

校友 Profiles

AQ grads are thankful for the small class sizes that allow them to form personal relationships with professors.

 

1 A chemistry major provides exceptional preparation for medical school and health-related 职业生涯.
2 Internships and summer research programs for chemistry students are typically competitively paid positions, often including travel and housing allowances.
3 化学 majors enjoy nearly 100% employment after 毕业. Approximately two-thirds of Aquinas chemistry graduates attend graduate school after leaving Aquinas. The remainder typically find jobs in the chemical industry or related fields within one year of 毕业.
4 The 化学 capstone course is a two-semester sequence in which students design and implement an independent research project of their choice under the supervision of a professor. Scientific writing, experimental design, and data analysis are emphasized.
