About Us
The
department currently has 18 regular faculty members, offering
research
opportunities in organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical
chemistry, biochemistry and nanoscience, and several adjunct
professors.
There are approximately 60 students in the graduate program, and
there are a number of postdoctoral associates working in the
department.
Faculty and students occupy laboratory and office space in Benton
Hall, the Research Wing of the Science Complex, and the
Center for Nanoscience (CNS).
The Chemistry Department has developed a program that makes research
and teaching excellence its top priorities. Papers and publications
documenting departmental research are frequently presented at conferences
and symposia and published in scientific journals throughout the
world. The faculty serve on national and international committees
and editorial boards. Several faculty members have written introductory
textbooks and advanced specialized monographs and reviews. Advanced
undergraduate and graduate classes are relatively small, allowing
for considerable interaction between faculty and students.
The Department of Chemistry offers the following degrees:
- Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry
- Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry with Biochemistry Certificate
- Bachelor of Science in Chemistry
- Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, Biochemistry Emphasis
- Master of Science
- Doctor of Philosophy
