Message from the Chair

This is the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, where we are proud of our students development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as applied to some of the most important scientific problems we face in our society. Our programs are rich in laboratory experiences, providing students with extensive hands-on experiences with chemical and biochemical instrumentation and techniques. We feel this provides a huge boost in our students’ skill-sets and marketability, whether they are seeking employment following graduation, or headed to graduate or professional programs.

As all of our faculty are research-active, and welcome undergraduate students into their laboratories, our students are exposed to the highest levels of learning and problem-solving. We pride ourselves on the academic community we build and support every year. Our students, and their growth are our priorities. On behalf of our faculty and students, I hope you will join us in this vibrant and exciting community!
