The Department of Chemistry at CWU is home to a dynamic and dedicated faculty whose common goal is to offer students the best possible education in the chemical sciences. Offering a variety of programs of study, we are large enough to offer students programs tailored to their own unique interests. However, one of our strengths is that we are also small enough to offer
quality instruction with extensive interaction between students and
instructors.
The Chemistry Department offers a choice of the Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of
Arts degrees to students. These programs provide foundations in descriptive and theoretical chemistry. During the first two years the various curriculum
options emphasize fundamental topics in chemistry, mathematics and physics. After these foundation courses are completed, chemistry majors choose from a variety of advanced courses to fill the major requirements. In addition to the wide variety of course options, the department offers an active undergraduate
research program; we encourage students to become involved in research
activities early in their academic careers to augment the information they
receive in their course work. Students are also encouraged to be a Teaching
Assistant for the Chemistry Department to help them solidify fundamental
concepts.
