"The MCLA 化学 Department fosters not only an environment of education and the pursuit of further knowledge, but also a community of understanding, empathy, and 相互尊重. It is important to feel welcome in a place where you will spend several years of your life; I am so grateful I was able to find my home in the 化学 Department, surrounded by professors and fellow students who care deeply about my educational 目的地与自我进化." - 伯纳黛特·迪宁18岁



化学实验室RHarris

Our major in 化学 covers basic principles and theories in analytical, organic, 无机化学和物理化学. You will gain a working knowledge of chemistry, both factual and theoretical, by examining the composition, structure, properties, 以及物质的反应. You will also learn synthetic skills, laboratory techniques, technical report comprehension, laboratory instrumentation, and chemical safety. 

Just as important, you will gain skills in analysis, critical thinking, and problem-solving that you can apply to everyday challenges, and to other fields of study. 毕业 from MCLA with a degree in 化学 provides you with a  powerful springboard into 无论你选择什么职业.

MCLA为什么不同

Our small classes and engaged faculty encourage you to become adept at scientific inquiry, including designing your own re搜索 and presenting findings at our 本科生研究会议, as well as at national conferences.

If you're interested in teaching, you can major in 化学 with a concentration 在教育. MCLA has submitted a program for Initial 许可 in 化学, grades 9-12, for approval by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary 教育. Students majoring in 化学 with a concentration 在教育 can prepare for this 许可证.
