WHY STUDY CHEMISTRY AT TIU?
We believe that God is revealed in both his Word and in his world. A study of both is necessary to develop a healthy, biblical worldview while studying the sciences, like chemistry. We will teach you to scientifically study the natural world in order to critically evaluate what you observe and gain a deeper understanding of God as he is revealed in the world, develop a sense of responsibility to the world, and appreciate aesthetically the wonders of the world.
