Chemistry is the study of matter: the structure and properties of matter, the transformations from one form of matter to another and the energy transformations associated with these transformations.
Additional Major Information
Before Graduating Students Must
- Achieve at least 50% on the Diagnostic of Undergraduate Chemistry Knowledge (DUCK) exam.
