Program Highlights

研究 Opportunities

You’ll find ample opportunity to p艺术icipate in research. All chemistry majors complete a capstone senior research project. However, you can get involved as early as your 第一年.

独立学习

Collaborate in novel projects with many related disciplines, such as biology, pharmacy, 计算机科学, and others. Projects include organic synthesis, biochemical investigations, materials science, analytical chemistry, and computational chemistry.

化学俱乐部

Join the super-active, award-winning 化学俱乐部, which takes outreach programs to local schools, travels to present research at conferences around the country, and visits interesting places like the Corning Museum of Glass and the Priestley House.
