| One of the newest majors on campus is Chemistry, having been offered since 1994. In that short time, the major has grown to between 20 and 25 Coastal students in environmental, biochemical and classical tracks, as well as in the Chemical Engineering track of our Dual Degree Program with Clemson.
The Chemistry major was designed with these three distinct tracks as a natural result of the strong programs in Marine Science and Biology. Chemistry interfaces and overlaps with these two disciplines so much that students with interest in these areas should give serious consideration to a double major or minor in chemistry as they plan their career preparation. Students in these other majors should take chemistry as freshmen, if they have the pre-requisites.
As the result of a recent National Science Foundation grant, the Department now possesses each of the major instruments that the American Chemical Society recommends. A student at Coastal can expect to have used each of these several times prior to being graduated!
We envision years of active growth in this department. Perhaps you would like to be a part of that growth. Let us hear from you! We'll be glad to take time for a visit, a telephone chat or an E-mail exchange. Here are images of Coastal Carolina's Chemistry Instrumentation.
