About the Department of Chemistry, Biochemistry and Physics

In many ways, we offer the best of what both large research universities and smaller four-year liberal arts institutions can provide. Our department is large enough to provide numerous research and internship opportunities to perform them. At the same time, our department is also small enough to provide direct and regular contact with our faculty.

Our programs provide students with opportunities to gain the necessary knowledge and skill sets employers are highly seeking. Recent graduates have gone on to work in the chemical/biochemical industry or research labs (such as 3M, Poet, Mayo Clinic), attend medical school or dental school, pursue graduate degrees and teach at the high school and university levels.

Our faculty are located in both the Daktronics Engineering Hall and the Avera Health and Science Center.
