Chemistry and Biochemistry

Programs offered
  • Biochemistry (major)
  • Chemistry (majors and minor)

化学主要研究物质、能量及其相互作用. Chemists do a wide variety of things:

  • Make new substances, including new materials and medicines.
  • Design new ways to make known compounds.
  • Isolate and determine chemical structures of naturally occurring substances.
  • Elucidate the chemical mechanisms behind biological processes.
  • Attempt to explain the changes matter undergoes.
  • Develop and apply analytical techniques 用于刑事调查和环境问题.
  • 教化学,在化学工业工作,并应用 用化学知识解决其他社会和技术问题.

化学家也关心他们的工作和技术对社会和个人的影响. 他们站在确保技术为人类服务的最前沿.

At Seattle Pacific, 如果你想从事化学工作,这个系的课程就是为你设计的, biochemistry, or science education, 或者如果你有兴趣在医学方面继续深造, dentistry, pharmacy, engineering, or the other sciences.
