The Department provides an excellent undergraduate chemistry program. The faculty in both chemistry and physics are known for their excellent teaching and are among the most productive researchers in this region of the state. The Department is proud of its state-of the art instrumentation, which a chemistry major has an opportunity to use in the course of their education. We provide all the advantages of a small school with close faculty-student contact, and at the same time provide superior research opportunities and access to sophisticated instrumentation, typical of a bigger research university. Our students have gone on to medical school, graduate school in chemistry etc. |
