Every material in existence is made up of matter — including the human body. Chemistry is involved in everything we do, from growing and cooking food to cleaning our homes and bodies to launching a space shuttle. Students pursuing a chemistry degree will study these processes, as well as the composition, structure, interaction and energy of substances at atomic and molecular levels. Depending upon career goals, students can then specialize their studies to focus on analytical chemistry, biochemistry, inorganic or organic chemistry and/or physical chemistry.
