Chemistry

What Is Chemistry?

Known as the Central Science, Chemistry is the study of the structure, properties, composition and changes of matter. Because an understanding of matter’s fundamental properties is useful in so many different applications, chemical principles are helpful in fields such as Biology, Geology, Medicine & Pharmacology, Engineering, & Material Science.

Typically Chemistry majors specialize in one of four major areas: Physical, Organic, Inorganic, or Analytical. They may also specialize in “hybrid” fields such as Biochemistry, Material Science, Geochemistry, or Pre-Med / Pre-Pharmacy. 

We strive to provide students with the knowledge to pursue not only a degree in chemistry, but also other technical fields, and to satisfy general degree requirements. 

Midland College provides students the opportunity to study the subject in a variety of specializations and transfer to a 4-year university through its Chemistry program.
