The Chemistry at Howard Payne is designed so that the students completing a degree in Chemistry will understand and communicate effectively the basic theories of chemistry. Students are encouraged to think critically, reason scientifically and grow spiritually in a Christian context. These students will have a broad foundation in Chemistry and should be confident and comfortable in their abilities to obtain positions as scientist or educators. The students so choosing will also be well prepared for graduate or professional school. In the Physical Science Department we strive to graduate well-prepared scientists ready to serve as Christian role models in whatever related occupation they choose.
