Chemistry & Biochemistry Department

Summer Research

Overview

The Chemistry and Biochemistry Department has offered programs approved by the American Chemical Society for more than 40 years. We pride ourselves on our close working relationships with our students and the ability of our students to gain hands-on experience with the latest chemical research and techniques. We offer small classes, with most upper-level chemistry labs having fewer than 18 students.
