These pages are primarily for new undergraduates in the College of Arts and Science (CAS), in the College of Business (CoB), and in the College of Music and Media (CMM).

There are some things you must do now; there are other things that matter the most in the first two weeks of each semester; and there are things to be aware of for later in your first term or your first term back (Greetings, Readmits!)...

During fall/spring semesters, students may apply for cross-enrollment at Loyola Consortium partners (Tulane, Xavier, etc., see main menu).

Welcome to the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry.  

Chemists and biochemists study molecules. Molecules make up practically everything around us and in us. So, in a way, chemists and biochemists study everything. And at Loyola, we undertake those studies with our undergraduate students by our sides.

Where do our graduating students go?

This is not an exhaustive list of alumni from the Chemistry Department at Loyola University New Orleans, but is meant to give students a general idea of the different programs or employment into which our students have been accepted.

Class of 2023
