The sciences—chemistry and biology—make up Northwestern College’s largest major, preparing students for careers in fields as diverse as conservation and medicine. Our graduates gain admission to and excel in the nation’s top graduate and professional schools. Once there, they report that we’ve already taught them some of the material covered in first-year grad and professional school courses.
As a chemistry student at NWC, you’ll get personal attention from standout chemists who love to teach and who will mentor you through challenging courses so you’re ready for the next step: graduate school, a career in chemical or industrial research, teaching, medical school, or other programs in the health professions. Northwestern’s chemistry faculty will connect you to the people, experiences, jobs and graduate schools that will help you discover your own research or scientific passions. They're just one of the reasons chemistry at NWC is among the programs included in Rugg's Recommendations on the Colleges, a national guidebook that recommends specific college departments to prospective students.
Science and health professionals today face many profound ethical and moral questions. Northwestern College’s “wisdom education” prepares students in the sciences to engage those questions with excellence of both mind and character—with head and heart.
