Degrees Offered 

B.S. Biochemistry – for modern studies at the interface of biology and chemistry
B.S. Chemistry – for classic and innovative theory and laboratory skill development in chemistry
B.A. Chemistry-Business – for practical training in business skills and technical knowledge

The majors offered by the Department of Chemistry prepare students to enter the chemical industry or graduate school and provide an excellent foundation for professional studies in medicine, law, and other areas. Students interested in chemistry/secondary education are encouraged to consider Eastern’s five-year combined B.S./M.Ed. program.

Mission Statement

Through rigorous studies of chemical principles and hands-on laboratory analysis, we cultivate students for advancement in their fields by equipping them with tools to be careful thinkers, creative problem solvers, clear communicators, and skilled experimentalists.  We examine the handiwork of God – the display of His glory evident in the molecular complexity of the natural world – so students called to science can lead meaningful lives of service as effective stewards and agents of God’s redemptive purposes.
