Research Activities
Undergraduate chemistry majors are encouraged to participate in the Undergraduate Research Program. The student should consult with faculty members in the department and select one under whose guidance the student undertakes a specific research project. The student has the opportunity to join a research group, to work with faculty, graduate students, and research associates. Many such research projects have resulted in papers published in scientific journals and co-authored by undergraduate students. Please consult the individual faculty member for information on the research.
