Welcome to Chemistry at Haverford
Haverford’s chemistry department serves students who are pursuing chemistry for a variety of professional reasons or simply to increase their knowledge of the natural sciences. There is a growing need for educators, lawyers, entrepreneurs, policy makers and scientists in diverse fields to have a solid understanding of chemical principles. Haverford has Chemistry Major and Minor programs that provide preparation for careers in science, medicine, law, business, and primary and secondary education.
