Chemistry is the study of matter, its composition and properties; it investigates how the substances that compose matter react, combine and transform. As the Father of Modern Chemistry Antoine Lavoisier put it, “In nature nothing is lost; nothing is created; everything is transformed.” Understanding how matter “is transformed” is crucial for science, making chemistry one of the backbones of all science and technology.
Chemistry majors at Augusta University receive comprehensive training in all areas of modern chemistry. The program includes course work in the major sub-disciplines of chemistry: organic, inorganic, physical, biological and analytical.
