What is the role of a chemist in a world that God created?
The study of chemistry is so much more than just understanding the nature of matter; it also includes creating new forms of matter that have never existed before. Redeemer's Chemistry program equips students to work in the field of chemistry, preparing them to express their God-given creativity in unfolding and developing the potential that lies within God's creation.
Chemistry is a Bachelor of Science degree. It is offered as a major and as a minor.
