Jill Rehmann, Ph.D., Chairperson

The introductory courses in the physical sciences are designed to give the student a basic understanding of the nature of matter and the physical universe and of the impact of the physical sciences on society. The advanced courses offer the training needed by those who will be professionally concerned with scientific matters in the future in industry, research, medicine, or teaching.

Articulation with Kingsborough Community College: St. Joseph’s has an articulation agreement with Kingsborough through which KCC students who complete the A.S. Degree in Chemistry may transfer to St. Joseph’s for the B.S. in Chemistry. Consult either school for specific details.
