About the course

LMU's Chemistry major helps students understand the empirical nature of the science while gaining intellectual mastery of chemistry and developing practical experimental skills.

　　Majors gain hands-on experience in traditional synthetic and analytic bench chemistry, utilizing the latest methods and techniques. Students benefit from small class and laboratory sizes, daily personal contact with faculty and staff, and operation of chemical instrumentation.

　　Students learn a broad introduction to the field of chemistry including atomic theory, chemical nomenclature, chemical equations and reactions, thermochemistry, electrochemistry, and acid-base chemistry. Students also study biochemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, and analytical chemistry. Many students take elective courses in inorganic chemistry, food chemistry, wine chemistry, forensic chemistry, and other advanced courses.

　　Chemistry majors learn and work in laboratories for organic research, instrumentation, and physical chemistry. The Chemistry Department has an extensive selection of modern instrumentation that is utilized in undergraduate teaching labs and research projects.

　　Chemistry majors enjoy access to advanced preparation and separation instrumentation, thermal analysis, and spectroscopic instruments. In addition to ordinary laboratory equipment, students have the opportunity to work with an alphabet soup of instruments such as a high-speed centrifuge, HPLC, GC, GC-MS, DSC, FT-IR, UV-Vis, flame and furnace AA, fluorometer, and FT-NMR.
