The Chemistry major within the School of Natural Sciences offers a comprehensive journey through the fascinating world of atoms and molecules. This rigorous program blends theoretical knowledge with practical laboratory skills, preparing students to unravel chemical mysteries and drive innovation. Whether pursuing groundbreaking research or careers in industry, our students are equipped to make meaningful contributions to the field of chemistry.

Foundations Of Scientific Inquiry And Discovery:

The College of Natural Sciences begins with a strong emphasis on building a foundation in scientific inquiry and discovery. Students explore various scientific disciplines, including biology, chemistry, physics, and environmental science, allowing them to develop a well-rounded understanding of the natural world. This foundation equips them with the knowledge and skills necessary to conduct research and analyze the complexities of nature.


Hands-On Lab Experience And Scientific Research:

Beyond the classroom, our College of Natural Sciences places a significant emphasis on hands-on laboratory experience and engaging in scientific research. Students have opportunities to conduct experiments, collect data, and participate in research projects. These experiences not only enhance their practical scientific skills but also provide valuable insights into the world of scientific investigation.


Global Environmental Challenges And International Scientific Collaborations:

The College of Natural Sciences at Southeastern Michigan University is committed to addressing global environmental challenges and fostering international scientific collaborations. Our curriculum explores international perspectives on environmental issues, biodiversity, and sustainability, encouraging students to engage in collaborative research and initiatives with scientists and environmental experts from around the world. This global perspective equips students to contribute to solving pressing global environmental problems and advance our understanding of the natural world.

Chemistry is the science of composition, structure, properties, and reactions of matter, especially of atomic and molecular systems. This course discusses the fundamentals of chemistry along with basic underlying principles of chemistry; these topics include Atoms, Molecules, Ions, Chemical Reactions, Atomic Structure, Chemical Bonds, and Nuclear Chemistry.


Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon compounds other than simple salts such as carbonates, oxides, and carbides. This course encompasses topics such as Introduction to Organic Compounds, Reactions of Alcohols, Amines, Ethers, And Epoxides, and Carbonyl Compounds.


In this course, You will explore chemistry with an approach that shows the ways in which chemistry impacts Your life every day. The topics that will be examined will demonstrate the ways in which chemists look at the world, learn from them, and then come up with solutions to problems.


Biochemistry deals with the chemistry of biological transformations in the cell. This course deals with a general treatment of various areas of modern biochemistry including molecular basis of genetic and developmental processes, cellular mechanisms and intermediary metabolism.


Ecology is the scientific study of interactions between organisms and their environment in a hierarchy of levels of organization: individuals, populations, communities, and ecosystems. This course provides a comprehensive survey of The Organism in Its Environment, Population Interactions, Ecological Genetics and the Ecosystem.


This course covers topics that would help you to understand how chemists utilize various concepts in chemistry to influence the environment around us. The topics include Air Resources, Material Resources, Energy Resources of Carbon and Synthetic and Biological Polymers.
