Chemistry is the study of matter, its building blocks, its properties and its behaviors. Because it focuses on the central nature of physical matter, chemistry is considered a foundational science, one that can help with understanding the natural world. At Kansas Wesleyan University, you will receive a firm foundation in chemistry while gaining a broad liberal arts education that puts science education into the context of life and society.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n
