In Umoja Chemistry 151, you’ll explore the contributions of African Americans and the African Diaspora while bringing your own perspectives and experiences into the learning process.

You won’t just memorize formulas—you’ll make chemistry meaningful through storytelling, real-world connections, collaboration, and reflection. By the end of the course, you’ll walk away with a strong foundation for future STEM success—and a cohort that supports you along the way.
