College of Arts and Sciences

Location: Crete

Degree Type: Undergraduate

Learn about 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.

At Doane, you aren't limited to taking notes in a huge lecture hall with 100 other students. Here you can experience chemistry through our "studio-format" general chemistry courses, hands-on exposure to state-of-the-art technology, and a variety of interdisciplinary research opportunities. We give you access to and experience with modern instrumentation and laboratory techniques so you're ready to hit the ground running after graduation, whether that be at an employer or graduate school. We also help develop your communication skills, critical thinking, analysis, and leadership abilities to make you more well-rounded and self-reliant.

Whether you're interested in furthering your education or entering the workforce after graduation, you'll have the knowledge and experience necessary for success.

Project SERVE seeks talented students majoring in Science or Math to pursue teaching in schools where they're needed the most. Doane was awarded a $1.2M National Science Foundation grant to support these efforts.

Helpful Links

Whether you’re ready to apply or still testing the waters with a tour, we’re here for you. Here are some helpful links to assist you on your journey.

Chemistry is a diverse field that teaches more than just the broader strokes of its science. Due to its nature, students gain a large variety of skills such as spatial, system level, and critical thinking which can open many career pathways for them.

As the central science, chemistry serves as a connection point between fields like physics, biochemistry, biology, environmental science, psychology, mathematics and engineering. As such, Chemistry students gain interdisciplinary experience throughout the chemistry curriculum.

The chemistry curriculum is built to heavily emphasize students’ time in the laboratory. Chemistry students at Doane conduct research projects through one-on-one mentorship with a full-time professor. These projects often cover interdisciplinary topics and involve collaboration with faculty outside of chemistry. From this, students gain qualitative and quantitative analytical skills that can be applied to careers in a diverse range of industries, including pharmaceutical, chemical, petroleum, and environmental and healthcare as well as graduate and professional schools.
