University of New England

Chemistry and physics are fundamental sciences that touch every aspect of our lives and the world around us. Chemistry is the study of matter: its chemical and physical properties, the chemical and physical changes it undergoes, and the energy changes that accompany those processes.

Located on the University of New England's seaside University Campus in Biddeford, Maine, the Department of Chemistry and Physics offers four majors:

• Chemistry: The bachelor of science degree in chemistry stresses the important fundamental aspects of the discipline, including analytical chemistry, biochemistry, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and physical chemistry. Curriculum.
• Biochemistry: The bachelor of science degree in biochemistry provides a balanced curriculum that assures that each student will achieve a substantial foundation in the other major chemical subdisciplines, including analytical chemistry, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and physical chemistry. Curriculum.
• Chemistry/Secondary Education: The chemistry/secondary education major is designed specifically for students who wish to become high school teachers of the physical sciences. Curriculum.
• Laboratory Science: The bachelor of science degree in laboratory science is designed for students who wish to obtain a broad background in chemical and biological laboratory skills. Curriculum.

Biochemistry/Pre-Pharmacy Track
A minimum of two years of undergraduate pre-professional education is required for admission to the University of New England's College of Pharmacy, followed by four years of professional studies required for the Pharm.D. degree.
