Overview

All courses, including laboratories, are taught by faculty members, and we strive to provide a significant amount of personalized interactions with our students. Alumni of the department include university professors, research scientists, physicians, lawyers, dentists, executives, directors of research, secondary school teachers, and administrators. We never know where we'll find one of our majors - the study of chemistry opens many doors.

Also, many students at the College of William & Mary who are not Chemistry majors need chemistry courses for their studies. We help support the biology, geology, physics, environmental science and biochemistry programs.
