Chemistry

Welcome to CSUCI Chemistry!

The chemistry program offers several degree options in chemistry and biochemistry.  We have programs that will lead to comprehensive B.S. degrees in chemistry or biochemistry.  Our B.A. degree in chemistry is less unit intensive and more flexible, allowing for pre-professional program preparation or a double major or minor to be completed in another field within a reasonable amount of time.  We also offer a B.A. in Chemistry for subject matter preparation in teaching chemistry.  If you have any questions after browsing these pages, feel free to get in touch with us by following the "Contact" link.  Our support office is located in Aliso Hall 103.

If you are a student that is looking for a place that combines a rigorous education in the fundamentals of chemistry with "hands on" experiential learning, we invite you to consider Chemistry and Biochemistry at CSUCI.  Students will learn how to apply fundamental ideas to problems in chemistry and biochemistry.  In addition, they gain skills in analytical thinking, oral and written communication, and problem solving as individuals and in teams.  Students are strongly encouraged to participate in undergraduate research with faculty members or with community partners through internships.
