Chemistry Faculty
The Chemistry faculty are committed to excellence in teaching and scholarship with a Christian world view. They represent a diversity of graduate training, experiences, and perspectives in the sciences. Because of the demanding and highly competitive nature of science we provide special guidance in course choices, research projects, field experience, future education and career choices.
