Mission

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry supports the mission of Harding University. We are committed to:

Model Christian professionalism in the way we teach and interact with students both in and out of the classroom.

Outfit our students with the necessary knowledge and skills through rigorous, challenging, and insightful instruction that they will need for successful careers in chemistry, education, health professions or allied disciplines.

Lead our students in developing their critical thinking skills and their oral and written communication skills. We will cultivate in our students the capacities and dispositions for reflective and critical thought, independent lifelong learning, ethical practices in science, and creativity and innovation to create scientific knowledge all within the Christian worldview.

Engage our students in the scientific inquiry.
