CHEMISTRY

Minor

 

Chemistry is the study of the composition, structure, and properties of matter—or in other words, the makeup of our entire universe.

As a chemistry major, you won’t just be memorizing molecular structures and periodic elements. You’ll be exploring how the physical world operates and conducting research as early as your first year.

Coker’s chemistry program is founded on close student-professor relationships and the importance of research and internships—a combination of support and opportunity that allows students to thrive. Our unique round-table, discussion-based learning philosophy challenges you to think for yourself while working in a team, encouraging the process of discovery and problem-solving.
