We hope that you will find us to be an interesting and dynamic department. We are the second largest department at Xavier with eight different types of major programs including , , , , , , , and .

We have a very research-active department and many of our students earn money by conducting research with our faculty in projects funded by research grants. In addition, we have an award-winning Chemistry Club that participates in community and departmental service activities, seminars, and chemistry experiment demos across the city.

We pride ourselves on our quality of instruction, faculty, undergraduate research, instrumentation, and the accomplishments of our students. If you are interested in a career in chemistry, medicine, pharmacy, drug design, cancer research, environmental chemistry, alternate energy sources, cosmetic chemistry, science education, nanotechnology, engineering, or many other exciting occupations, consider majoring in chemistry at Xavier. Feel free to contact the Chemistry Department Head for more information.
