BA and MS Chemistry

Chemistry, the so-called central natural science, bridges physics and biology. The atomistic and molecular structure and properties of matter are fundamental to the investigation of the physical world and to the understanding of living systems. Nanotechnology and genomics are comparatively new sciences that owe their very existence to progress in chemical analysis and theory during the past generation. There are several opportunities for NYU Chemistry undergraduates to engage in group activities. Phi Lambda Upsilon, the national chemistry honor society, inducts members each year, based on academic performance. NYU's Alpha Lambda Chapter of PLU hosts inclusive activities that tend to focus on academics and are a benefit to all students, including review sessions before major exams, and round table discussions with faculty members about research.
