Chemistry Minor

At Washington College, we have an innovative curriculum that reflects modern, interdisciplinary science and nurtures excellent scientists. Our organic-first curriculum is accredited by the American Chemical Society and Maryland Higher Education Commission. We introduce our students to fundamental concepts in chemistry through the lens of organic and biochemistry, which allows us to introduce material thematically, gives students the foundation needed for advanced study across scientific fields, and better reflects modern chemistry as an interdisciplinary science. We integrate the principles of green chemistry into our curriculum, training a new generation of chemists who are especially mindful of their environmental impact.
