Earn Your Chemistry Degree from 海角社区
As a chemistry major at 海角社区, you鈥檒l build a strong foundation in general, organic, analytical, physical, and inorganic chemistry while developing the lab skills needed to understand and solve real chemical problems. You鈥檒l form hypotheses, design experiments, interpret data, and study topics that shape modern science, from reaction mechanisms to chemical energy and biomolecular structure.
Research is central to the Occidental chemistry undergraduate program. You鈥檒l conduct original lab work with faculty mentors, join the Summer Research Program, and often publish or present your findings, and peer mentoring and our Academic Mastery Program facilitate learning outside the lab. By the time you graduate, you鈥檒l have the scientific, analytical, and communication skills needed for careers in medicine, research, chemical engineering, biotechnology, or graduate study.
