Department of Biochemistry, Chemistry and Physics
On behalf of the faculty, staff, and students, welcome to the Department of Biochemistry, Chemistry & Physics at UCM. We have a long-standing tradition of educating students in the traditional areas of chemistry and physics and new expanding programs within our disciplines. There are also many exciting pre-professional programs available for our students.
Opportunities Abound
The Donald R. Kelsey Undergraduate Research Award Established!
Distinguished alumnus Dr. Don Kelsey establishes the first award for undergraduate chemical research in honor of his research mentor Dr. Robert Zey (professor emeritus).
We have pre-engineering which comes complete with a bachelor of arts degree in physics upon graduating from an accredited engineering school. In chemistry, you can set your sights on medical, dental, pharmacy, or veterinary schools; you can enter the exciting world of forensic science (ask about our minor in forensics), or even prepare for law school, if you have interests especially in patent or environmental law.
The career, professional, and graduate opportunities are almost endless in chemistry and physics. We also have an accredited teacher education program for students interested in secondary education.
