Chemistry and Physics

Chemistry examines the processes that produce our food, clothes, medicine, and hundreds of new materials we use every day. Chemists have developed compounds that save lives and reduce suffering, such as cortisone and penicillin. They have developed fertilizers and pesticides to improve food production. And they have made important contributions to radiation therapy, water purification, and DNA fingerprinting. Carleton offers programs in all the main areas of chemistry, including biochemistry and environmental chemistry. Co-operative education and extensive lab experience provide you with practical experience before you graduate.
