Chemistry is often called the central science as it provides the connection between mathematics and the physical, life and applied sciences. Chemistry is the science of molecules and their transformations. Chemists study the composition, properties, and reactivity of matter and synthesize and discover new molecules and materials.
Since the transformation of matter is integral to the modern world, the study of chemistry can lead to a diverse variety of careers. These include research and development jobs in environmental, materials, or forensics chemistry; energy production; biotechnology and medicinal chemistry; and the food, cosmetic, and textile industries, as well as employment in sales, management, law, and consulting.
Students completing Chemistry at University of Arizona are prepared upon graduation to work as chemists in academic, industrial, and governmental settings. In addition, these programs provide an excellent foundation for advanced studies in chemistry, biochemistry, or related graduate programs as well as professional schools in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, and osteopathy. As chemistry is primarily an experimental science, research opportunities are also available in analytical, organic, inorganic, physical, and biochemistry.
