Chemistry is the field of science associated with atoms and molecules. It focuses on the behavior and properties of matter, the relationship of energy with the bond-forming and bond-breaking reactions that dictate chemical processes, and the creation of new substances. It is the primary field that deals with nanoscience and nanotechnology. It is often considered the central science, linking the physical sciences with engineering, medicine, and life sciences. The subject of chemistry is typically broken into more focused disciplines, including organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, theoretical chemistry, computational chemistry, biochemistry, and materials chemistry. A degree in chemistry examines these topics to promote a fundamental understanding of the world and the application of this knowledge in solving technological problems. Professional chemists apply their knowledge in many different areas ranging from environmental processes to the development of new materials and renewable energy. They work in academic environments, high-tech start-ups, and research and development laboratories associated with practically every advanced technological field including medicine, computing, energy, agriculture, and biotechnology. In addition to contributing toward achieving the educational objectives described in the CSM Graduate Profile and the ABET Accreditation Criteria, the B.S. curricula in chemistry are designed to: Impart mastery of chemistry fundamentals; Develop ability to apply chemistry fundamentals in solving open-ended problems; Impart knowledge of and ability to use modern tools of chemical analysis and synthesis; Develop ability to locate and use pertinent information from the chemical literature; Develop ability to interpret and use experimental data for chemical systems; Develop ability to effectively communicate in both written and oral formats; Prepare students for entry to and success in professional careers; Prepare students for entry to and success in graduate programs; and Prepare students for responsible contribution to society.
