Why Study Chemistry?
Chemistry is a central science that investigates the properties and behavior of all matter. If this sounds like a broad definition, it is because chemistry is a very broad topic! Through Chemistry, you can learn about the composition and reactions that happen in the air (atmospheric chemistry), in living organisms (biochemistry and nutrition), on earth (geology), and elsewhere in the solar system and the universe (astrochemistry). This means that chemistry is also central to solving many challenges facing the world, from exploring alternative fuels and sources of energy to understanding the molecular basis of diseases and developing pharmaceuticals. This is why a chemistry degree gives you among the highest chances to matriculate in a medical school. Explore more about chemistry through the links below!
