Chemistry School: Cape Breton University Faculty: School of Science and Technology Degree: Bachelor Field of Study: Chemistry, General Description: Chemistry continues to be a pivotal science. It is as important as a discipline as it is in the service function it provides to other fields of study such as engineering, biology, medicine, nursing, food sciences, pharmacy, oceanography and environmental sciences. A course in chemistry is also of great value to the student intending to pursue studies in law, business administration, political science, psychology and many other programs, for it provides an understanding of the scientific method and of the chemical basis of today's world. Cape Breton University’s Department of Chemistry currently has eight tenured or tenure-track faculty including a Canada Research Chair in Molecular Spectroscopy and is well equipped for research support in most branches of chemistry, including modern AA, FT-IR, GC-MS, Raman and UV/Vis spectrometers, HPLC and a 28 core Linux cluster.
