Department of 化学 和 生物化学

Build the Foundation for Your Career in 化学

化学 plays a central role in the most exciting 和 critical areas of modern scientific 探索. 澳门赌场在线娱乐 生物化学 和 chemistry majors receive a solid foundation in chemical theories 和 laboratory techniques, preparing them for a range of career opportunities in chemical or pharmaceutical industries, government laboratories 和 academia.

Our Department of 化学 和 生物化学 has well-equipped laboratory facilities 和 exceptional chemical instrumentation. The use of chemical instrumentation is integrated into the curriculum beginning in your 第一年. The department possesses a wide range of modern spectroscopic 和 separations instruments, thermal analysis facilities, 和 routine equipment for synthesis 和 analysis.

机会

Within our department, you will find ample opportunity to participate in research 澳门赌场在线娱乐. 专业 are required to complete a capstone senior research project. 然而, students can begin their involvement in an original research project as early as their 第一年. Students can participate as volunteers, paid technicians, interns, or through enrollment in independent studies.

Independent Study

Independent study allows students to collaborate in novel projects with many related disciplines, such as biology, pharmacy, computer science, 和 others. 范围广 of research topics is currently being explored within the department. 正在进行的和 planned projects include organic synthesis, biochemical investigations (enzymology 和 pharmaceutical applications), materials science (amorphous alloy production 和 characterization), analytical chemistry, 和 computational chemistry.

Off-Campus 机会

In addition to the on-campus opportunities offered by the faculty, the chemistry department also encourages student participation in a variety of off-campus activities such as summer research internships or a semester-abroad. Recently, students spent their summers at Sanofi 和 Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Graduate School & 就业

The department maintains an outst和ing record of placement in graduate 和 medical programs across the country. Recent graduates have been awarded fellowships 和 scholarships for doctoral work at Columbia, MIT, V和erbilt 和 others. Other majors have taken research positions in a variety of industrial 和 government laboratories.
