Chemistry and Biochemistry: Overview

Chemistry is more than just the composition, structure and properties of matter in its various solid, liquid and gaseous forms. Chemistry enters every area of our existence and will continue to play a key role in the age of high technology.

The need for chemists in so many related and vastly different areas makes the field of chemistry very broad; DelVal’s program addresses that diversity.

The Chemistry and Biochemistry Department is listed among the colleges approved by the American Chemical Society, which is among the world’s most respected scientific organizations. Majors who satisfactorily complete the program outlined here will be certified by the American Chemical Society.
