Chemistry 
FacultyMarlon Rhem, Chair
Melvin Roberts IntroductionChemistry is one of the fundamental sciences for many areas of study. It provides exciting opportunities to investigate the interface between the real, observable world around us and the abstract realm of ideas. Combining experimental observations with theoretical deductions challenges the chemist to find a new understanding of our universe with a well-defined, ever- growing system of concepts. The order, symmetry and unity of the universe become clearer through the study of chemistry, which correlates scientific discovery with knowledge. Mission StatementOur mission is to provide an atmosphere of mentorship for the purpose of educating and producing well-rounded individuals who are socially, spiritually, and academically mature. Objectives To provide excellent teachers that will assist students in learning the basic concepts and theories associated with the disciplines of chemistry.
To assist students' development of critical thinking skills including an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the scientific process.
To show students observations in the natural world that would lead them to the conclusion of a universal creator.
To have students who are able to integrate and apply their chemical understanding to the world around them.
To improve students' abilities to effectively communicate their ideas in both written and verbal formats.
To help students see the importance of using their knowledge and talents in service to others and encouraging them to contribute in significant ways to society and the church, as professionals and as citizens.
To mentor and advise students in their collegiate experience.
To give students the opportunity to gain experience through employment and cooperative education that is concurrent with their academic education.
To continually evaluate and improve the Chemistry program.
