化学 and Biochemistry Department

化学的学生

化学 forms a foundation for the study of a wide variety of scientific disciplines. It is concerned primarily with matter, energy, and their interactions. Chemists are both creators and problem-solvers who do everything from create new substances to analyze criminal evidence. They are at the forefront of efforts to make sure that technology serves humankind. And at 西雅图 Pacific University, chemists and chemistry are informed and influenced by a Christian worldview.

SPU offers three chemistry degrees for you to choose from:

  • 化学学士, designed for those interested in education or the health professions.
  • 化学理学士, for students who wish to continue their studies in graduate school, move into 环境 or industrial science, or prepare for a professional healthcare career.
  • 生物化学学士, which provides a strong foundation for fields in any of the molecular-related biological sciences and helps students prepare for a professional healthcare career.

Coursework is balanced between theoretical material and a variety of laboratory experiences, including traditional “wet chemistry,” instrumental techniques, and computational methods.
