Well-equipped laboratories provide hands-on opportunities where students learn about the disciplines in chemistry and biochemistry. Through the department’s research programs, students also gain experience in the most current techniques to help prepare them for their future career.The Department of Chemistry is housed in a recently constructed science building featuring state-of-the-art teaching and research labs with equipment that rivals what is available at PhD-granting institutions. Our students are encouraged to regularly interact with experts in the field and to begin their research experiences early in their academic career in order to get as much hands-on experience as possible. The combination of research experience and faculty interaction ensure our students are well prepared to begin their career or attend graduate school.
