Chemistry is vital to understanding the natural world, advancing technology, and solving problems related to medicine, health, food security, crime, and personal care. Students majoring in chemistry may choose from careers in research, medicine, academia, industry, or government. Whether developing skills for other STEM related fields or embarking on new discoveries and innovation, chemistry prepares students to engage in careers addressing today's most pressing global issues.

The chemistry program of Midwestern State University emphasizes personalized instruction and student research. Students receive direct individual attention by the faculty of Ph.D. chemists in small classes and seminar groups and are encouraged to start work on a research project as early as the second year of study. This commitment has been supported by over 1.3 million in faculty and departmental research grants and student research scholarships. Results from undergraduate research projects have been presented at regional and national conferences and published in scholarly journals with international distribution.
