THE CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT AT DOANE COLLEGE
Welcome to the Chemistry Department at Doane College!
Doane Chemistry offers students the chance to look at the small stuff: the molecules that make up the world around us, from the fuel we put in our gas tanks to the complex inner workings of our own bodies. Doane College offers a wide range of chemistry experiences to undergraduate students from all segments of campus, from classroom experiences like our "studio" general chemistry class and chances to use state-of-the-art chemistry technology in laboratories across the curriculum to research experiences like designing sensors for abused narcotics like methamphetamine and delving into the molecular mechanisms through which bone tissue is created.
The Doane College Chemistry department offers both a comprehensive major and minor in chemistry. In addition, a biochemistry major is offered through the Chemistry and Biology Departments for those students whose interests lie at the interface of these two important disciplines. Chemistry classes play roles in a number of other programs as well, including biology, environmental science and physical education. The department also serves students engaged in pre-medical and other health-related studies.
Chemistry students at Doane will experience the full benefits of a small, liberal arts environment. Students taking classes and participating in research activities in the Chemistry Department at Doane College will work closely with chemistry faculty and support staff. They will also receive hands-on experience with modern chemical instrumentation and techniques in the well-equipped Lied Science and Mathematics building.
