Studying chemistry and physics is all about seeking to understand the matter and laws that govern nature and life. Understanding these scientific areas and the processes that define them is a valuable area of study and can lead to a number of specialized and high-demand careers. Chemists, medical professionals, forensic scientists, nanotechnology specialists, and even chefs can all benefit from the study of chemistry.
Lincoln University Chemistry and Physics Department offers a range of classes that provide a solid foundation of scientific knowledge you'll be able to put to good use in a professional or graduate school setting. We offer Bachelor of Science (BS) degrees and Bachelor of Arts (BA) degrees—certified by the American Chemical Society—in Chemistry and Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, and pre-professional studies in chemical engineering, medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, allied health, and environmental science. Chemists, medical professionals, forensic scientists, nanotechnology specialists, and even chefs can all benefit from the study of chemistry.
We also offer a BS and BA degree in physics, in a program designed to prepare you to understand essential concepts in science, engineering, and technology. With a strong foundation in math and scientific principles, this degree can prepare you for careers in engineering, industry, aerodynamics, and more. We also offer an engineering science BS degree if you're looking to put your study of science to practical use.

In the chemistry and physics department, you'll study alongside passionate students and learn from a dedicated and highly qualified faculty who are eager to share their passion for these scientific fields. The interests of our faculty include the traditional sub-disciplines of Analytical, Physical, Inorganic, Organic, and Biochemistry.
Many of the graduates from our department hold important job positions in the government, the sciences, academia, and several different industries. After you graduate, you'll be ready to take your place among them and use what you've learned to build your own career and impact your community.
The overall mission of the Department of Chemistry is to prepare chemistry majors for graduate school, medical school, other professional schools, and industry, thereby increasing the number of underrepresented minorities in these areas. The Department of Chemistry offers a diversity of courses that are structured to educate students who have varied interests and backgrounds in science. The courses range from Introduction to Chemistry, which serves as a university core course, to Instrumental Analysis, which is one of the department's capstone courses. The department is proactive in providing students with the resources and opportunities to enhance their educational training. Those resources and opportunities include the following:
