Overview

Join the Chemistry majors from The University of Maine , the only undergraduate chemistry program in the state where students work side-by-side with faculty and graduate students on real, cutting-edge research. From day one, you’ll be part of a collaborative community that values curiosity, hands-on learning, and scientific discovery. Our majors don’t just learn chemistry, they do chemistry.

Program Learning Outcomes

Students will develop and apply their understanding of chemical principles to formulate and solve problems in the classroom and the laboratory using appropriate information and approaches. (Chemical principles include stoichiometry, states of matter, atomic structure, molecular structure and bonding, thermodynamics, equilibria, kinetics.)

Students will demonstrate an understanding of the synthesis, analysis, and chemical and physical properties of small molecules and macromolecules (e.g. polymers, biomolecules, nanomaterials).

Students will use appropriate approaches to model and interpret experimental data and chemical phenomena, including quantitative and computational methods.

Students will design, conduct, and analyze experiments, and demonstrate knowledge of safe and ethical techniques for handling chemicals and hazardous materials.

Students will communicate chemical knowledge clearly and concisely through written reports, oral presentations, and accurate records of their laboratory work.

Students will search, interpret, and manage information in the chemical literature.

Students will develop leadership and team skills by collaborating with peers/faculty in classrooms and laboratory settings.

Students will develop an understanding of professional and ethical standards, including the responsible treatment of data, citation or others’ work, and the impact of chemistry in contemporary societal and global issues.
