Saint Mary’s College of California

The Chemistry Department at Saint Mary’s College of California is committed to training the next generation of sustainability-minded scientists. We currently incorporate green chemistry, toxicology, and systems thinking in general and organic chemistry. We also offer a dedicated Introduction to Green Chemistry course accessible to science and non science majors. Additionally, several faculty members lead research teams that explore projects related to green chemistry and sustainability.
