Bachelor of Science in Chemistry

Chemistry is the study of matter, which is everything around us, and how it changes. It looks at the tiny particles, the atoms and molecules, that make up different substances and how they interact with each other. Chemists explore things like how substances combine, break apart, or react under different conditions, and they use this knowledge to create new materials, medicines, and solutions to everyday problems.
