Why study chemistry? Chemistry is often referred to as the central science because of the way that it brings together mathematics, physics and computer science with biology, medicine, environmental science, forensic science, and earth science. It can involve either basic or applied studies in the broad areas of physical, organic, analytical, inorganic, or biochemistry. Understanding chemistry is fundamental to understanding the physical world around us. Why Professional Option? This program of study is approved by the American Chemistry Society, and it is recommended for those who plan to become professional chemists. It provides a strong background for either graduate school or a career in industry.
