UNDERGRADUATE

STUDENTS

Chemistry is uniquely fundamental to the study of all other basic sciences. Our faculty are engaged in cutting-edge research with real world impacts, and our students receive a hands-on education with opportunities to participate in ongoing research and conduct their own experiments.
