Why choose chemistry?
Penn State offers a chemistry major focused on skill-building and practical experience through our world-class laboratory facilities and specialized lab courses as well as innovative learning environments in our lecture courses. The chemistry experience is more than lectures and labs. Students can connect outside the classroom through on-campus clubs and student organizations, like the Nittany Chemical Society and Women in the Sciences and Engineering. The chemistry community at Penn State is warm and welcoming, and many of our students graduate with life-long friends and mentors.
Labs, lectures, and research

What our students and alumni are saying about our Chemistry Community
I have frequently discussed my classes and lab work with students attending other universities...and they are always shocked by the outstanding nature of the chemistry curriculum offered at Penn State. I believe that the chemistry department at Penn State is truly unique because...the faculty within the department are highly dedicated to not only enriching the curriculum, but to student success both in and out of the classroom."
