The study of matter, supplemented by the Core.
Chemistry programs at the University of Dallas join the liberal investigations of
the Core Curriculum with the direct study of natural science.
Students learn to perform and design chemical experiments by using modern instrumentation (including NMR, FT-IR, GC-MS, and HPLC) and computers in a well-equipped laboratory where they can observe chemical phenomena for themselves. Some examples of the scope of chemistry application at UD include: synthesis of polymers and drugs; analyses of foods; study of environmental hazards; and calculations of energy values of molecular orbitals.
