Variant names
Brigham Young University. College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences. Dept. of Chemistry and Biochemistry
Description
Established: 1995
Location: Provo, Utah (1995- )
Functions
To provide courses where students can study Chemistry, the study of matter, the changes undergone by matter, and the laws that govern the changes. Chemists study atoms as well as the structures and reactions of molecules. They also work to develop simplifying models (theories) that permit the correlation and explanation of observations about matter. Chemical principles are fundamental to the understanding of subjects ranging from the molecular basis of biology to the structure of rocks and minerals. Chemistry is an essential foundation in engineering disciplines, especially in chemical engineering, the electronics field, energy and environmental areas, materials science, pharmacy and medicine, and in virtually all manufacturing areas.
Assets and Administrative Structure
The department was administered by a department chair under the direction of the College Dean.
Associated Units
Superior unit: Brigham Young University. College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (1995- )
Earlier unit: Brigham Young University. Dept. of Chemistry (1995)
