Mission Statement

Recognizing the increasing importance of chemistry both as an area of liberal arts education and as a professional field, the Department of Chemistry offers courses to serve two types of students:

1

Those who want some fundamental knowledge of chemistry as a part of their general education

2

Those who need specific training in chemistry in preparation for professional careers in health, engineering, secondary education and chemistry.

Student Learning Outcomes

Students will demonstrate an understanding of major concepts, theoretical principles and experimental findings in chemistry. They will be able to employ critical thinking and efficient problem-solving skills in the four basic areas of chemistry (analytical, inorganic, organic, and physical). The bachelor's degree in chemistry from Tougaloo College will train students to work effectively in diverse teams in both classroom and laboratory, to effectively write and communicate, to conduct experiments using modern instrumentation for chemical analysis and separation, analyze data, and interpret results, while observing responsible and ethical scientific conduct. This will enable students to gain entry into professional schools, graduate programs, or the job market.
