Chemistry

Overview

Highly skilled faculty, newly renovated classrooms and research laboratories, a strong emphasis on undergraduate research, and a very active student chapter of the American Chemical Society are just a few of the many advantages awaiting you. 

Chemistry, as the “Central Science,” contributes significantly to the development of scientific knowledge and technology, with molecular advances opening new vistas in medicine, biology, materials science, environmental science, etc. 

In our Chemistry program, at the University of Central Missouri, you will receive a student-centered education that includes close interactions with your professors both inside and outside the classroom and involvement in individual research projects.
