Studying chemistry helps students understand the composition, structure, and properties of matter, as well as the changes it undergoes during chemical reactions. It is a central science that connects physics, biology, and other fields, enabling discoveries in medicine, environmental science, materials development, etc. Learning chemistry builds problem-solving, analytical, and laboratory skills, which are valuable in many careers and everyday life. For those curious about how the world works at a molecular level, chemistry provides a fascinating and practical lens.
At Newman University, students gain valuable hands-on experience with the use of modern instrumentation in our state of the art facilities to best equip them for the skills needed outside of the classroom.

"First, it is a small, private college that focuses on not only developing personal academics but also nourishing personal faith and philosophy. And I think this is why the school has such a special name — Newman. We will gradually transform ourselves into new individuals after receiving an education here. Even though Newman is a small school, through the things we learn, I believe we can transform society."
