Chemistry
The Chemistry Department provides the opportunity for an undergraduate student to obtain thorough a fundamental
knowledge of all fields of chemistry. There are lecture courses in the general areas of inorganic, organic,
and physical chemistry, plus many more specialized courses including analytical, nuclear, and biophysical chemistry
and chemical biology. Laboratory experience is provided in inorganic and organic synthesis, analytical methods,
physical chemical measurements, spectroscopy, biochemical engineering, and chemical methods in nuclear technology.
Independent and original work is stressed in the laboratories and modern equipment is available to carry out the work.
Many of these instruments are interfaced directly to computers; in other cases, data analysis and graphics displays are accomplished using the College of Chemistry Computer Facility. In addition, special arrangements can be made to use many specialized research techniques available on the campus.
