Chemistry
Chemistry continues to be a pivotal science. It is as important as a discipline as it is in the service function it provides to other fields of study such as engineering, biology, medicine, nursing, food sciences, pharmacy, oceanography and environmental sciences. A course in chemistry is also of great value to the student intending to pursue studies in law, business administration, political science, psychology and many other programs, for it provides an understanding of the scientific method and of the chemical basis of today's world.
Cape Breton University’s Department of Chemistry currently has eight tenured or tenure-track faculty including a Canada Research Chair in Molecular Spectroscopy and is well equipped for research support in most branches of chemistry, including modern AA, FT-IR, GC-MS, Raman and UV/Vis spectrometers, HPLC and a 28 core Linux cluster.
CBU’s Chemistry Department is also home to a new Bruker Avance II 400 MHz NMR spectrometer and is a member of the Atlantic Regional Magnetic Resonance Centre. Seen as an emerging department and currently home to four NSERC funded researchers, CBU chemistry faculty offer CSC accredited BSc majors, honours, double major and double major honours.
