Students: Undergraduate Programs: Majors and Minors

Environmental Chemistry
It's all about cause and effect - and the chemicals between them.

Environmental Chemistry is more than basic science; it’s a major that gives you the opportunity to study your surroundings and see chemicals at work there. From the substances in your shampoo to the black smoke chugging out of industrial chimneys, pollutants are active in our environments, and a major in Environmental Chemistry allows you to figure out the connections between them.
