Chemistry is the core science—the study of the properties, composition, and changes that occur in matter.
When you study chemistry, you analyze issues that influence every aspect of life on Earth.
Which degree is right for you?
We offer two degrees, each backed by a strong curriculum that will give you the knowledge base you need to successfully pursue the discipline.
Extensive laboratory work
Throughout your courses, you will regularly work with the modern instruments in our campus laboratories. This equipment includes infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, and atomic absorption spectrophotometers. Separations equipment includes capillary electrophoresis, gas chromatography, high pressure liquid chromatography, and fast protein liquid chromatography equipment. Detectors range from mass spectrometers, electron capture, and flame ionization to rapid-scan UV-Vis spectrometers. You will also learn skills in computation and presentation of data.
Experiential learning and discovery
While the theoretical training you’ll receive in lectures is important, you will also be encouraged to explore, discover, and ask questions in your laboratory training. Through integrated research questions and hands-on exploration in courses, you will be involved in discovering and contributing new knowledge to the scientific community.
Become a scientific researcher
Independent studies or full-time summer research is excellent preparation for real-world scientific or health-related work post-graduation. Explore the frontiers of chemistry with one of our research active faculty, stretch yourself with an internship in the Ventura County Crime Lab, Amgen, or a research experience off-campus.
You will gain exceptional experience, explore the thrill of discovery, and engage with the larger community of scientists at research conferences and the Cal Lutheran Festival of Scholars.
Our research labs are entirely staffed with student researchers to generate data that is published in international journals and presented at national conferences. Talk to us about whether there is an open project in our labs!
