The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry offers small class sizes and the opportunity to participate with faculty in research. Accredited by the American Chemical Society (ACS), the BS in Chemistry features study in organic, inorganic, physical, analytical, and polymer chemistry. The degree requires a formal research experience. The BS in Biochemistry program was constructed following the recommendations of the American Society of Biochemists and Molecular Biologists. It, too, features a capstone research experience. We also offer a BS in Physical Sciences jointly with the Department of Physics and Astronomy. The program features a chemistry specialization and a physics specialization with each leading to high school teaching certification when combined with the BA in Education. The newly launched BA in Chemistry also prepares students in a broad background for more career options.

It is no overstatement to say Rowan has one of the best-equipped undergraduate labs in the country. Chemistry Biochemistry majors regularly use sophisticated instruments such as a gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer and a fourier transform superconducting nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer as well as the state-of-the-art facility of biochemistry labs. Such equipment or assess of the facilty is often reserved for faculty and graduate research at larger universities but you'll begin using them during the freshman year here at Rowan. And you'll work in a brand-new, $45 million facility designed specifically for scientific study and research.
