About the Department

The Department of Chemistry and Life Science oversees the Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, and Life Science majors and conducts cutting-edge research in collaboration with civilian academic and Department of Defense organizations.

The mission of the Department of Chemistry and Life Science is to educate cadets with a firm foundation in the fields of chemistry, life science, and chemical engineering so that each graduate is a commissioned leader of character who can leverage their understanding of science to implement solutions using appropriate problem-solving skills; and to inspire cadets to a career in the United States Army and a lifetime of personal growth and service to the nation.

Our faculty is a blend of excellence between both civilian and military members who bring a wide array of experiences and expertise into the laboratory and classroom. The Bartlett Hall Science Center offers world-class laboratories and instrumentation to enable our cadets, faculty, and collaborators to tackle the challenges of the current and future Warfighter.
