Chemistry is by its nature interdisciplinary, drawing on both mathematics and physics to understand basic principles, and helping to inform the understanding of structure and reactivity in biological systems.
About the Department
The Saint Anselm College Chemistry Department provides its students with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in chemistry within the context of a liberal arts education.
