Chemistry

"Chemists are a strange class of mortals, impelled by an almost maniacal impulse to seek their pleasures amongst smoke and vapour, soot and flames, poisons and poverty, yet amongst all these evils I seem to live so sweetly that I would rather die than change places with the King of Persia."

Johann Joachim Becher, German physician and alchemist (1635-1682)

Why Chemistry?

The Chemistry minor at Colorado Christian University offers students a foundation in five major areas within the chemistry field. Students study physical chemistry (kinetics and equilibrium), analytical chemistry (acids, base, redox), inorganic chemistry (atmospheric chemistry and metals), organic chemistry (alkanes and function groups), and biochemistry (proteins, CHO, and nucleic structure and function).

Chemistry in the Christian University

Students at CCU gain hands-on experience conducting experiments in the chemistry laboratory. The Chemistry minor provides a framework of knowledge that is ideal preparation for those interested in pursuing academic majors in biology or science. It is also helpful for students who are hoping to attend medical school. Minoring in Chemistry at Colorado Christian University also offers students valuable insight and experience coupled with the opportunity to wrestle with the provocative relationship between science and faith.
