A degree in chemistry is challenging and rewarding. Students will spend a lot of time in the lab getting their hands dirty while doing experiments and seeing chemistry in action.

Unlike what may be found at a large research institution, the chemistry faculty at Manhattan University offers each student personal attention and focuses on teaching exclusively undergraduate students. As a chemistry major, courses will be taught by faculty members, never graduate students. The small class sizes mean that students will really get to know their professors, and the professors will understand how to best help them succeed.
