Chemistry is often called central science as it connects mathematics with the physical, life, and applied sciences. Chemistry is the science of molecules and their transformations. Chemists study matter's composition, properties, and reactivity, synthesizing and discovering new molecules and materials. Since the transformation of matter is integral to the modern world, studying chemistry can lead to various careers. This degree also prepares students to enter aerospace, agriculture, biology, engineering, environmental science, and health science programs.
