Chemists study nature at the molecular level, and the broad field of
chemistry is often called the "central science," positioned between
the atomic world of physics and the complex living systems of
biology. Chemistry is primarily an experimental science requiring
well- developed laboratory and problem-solving skills. But
theoretical chemistry is also an important field in its own right
with strong components of modern mathematics and computer technology.
The chemistry curriculum at Carleton deals extensively with
fundamental ideas and with experimental chemistry. Undergraduate
research is an active part of the program.
