Research

Undergraduate Research is fundamental to science. Training our students in a one-to-one mentor relationship is a tradition in our department. Students can gain valuable experience in determining their potential in chemistry, applying their classroom knowledge and earning academic credit toward graduation by engaging in a project with a faculty member. Please look over the opportunities available by investigating the research projects of our faculty. If you have further interest or questions, please contact the faculty individually.
