Chemistry
Chemistry is the science of molecules. Scientific, medical, and technological phenomena ultimately are understood in terms of molecular structure and interactions. Understanding of chemistry is essential to effective work in all sciences, and some knowledge of chemistry is useful in such fields as law, government, business, and art. Many aspects of our high-technology society can be understood better from the viewpoint of chemistry.
COVID-19 Updates:
The Wesleyan Chemistry Department is fully committed to providing a high quality educational experience for our students that is consistent with maintaining the health and safety of students, faculty, and staff. For Fall 2020 we are offering a full curriculum of courses in a variety of teaching modes. A list of courses with brief descriptions of modifications for Fall 2020 is below. For more information on specific courses, please contact the instructor. General questions may be sent to the department at chemistry@wesleyan.edu.
Special note for laboratories:
Hands-on work is a central component of the laboratory courses (CHEM152, CHEM257, and CHEM 375). Due to changes in the course formats and the reduction in laboratory capacities, the department strongly recommends that students postpone laboratory courses until the 2021-2022 academic year, if possible.
