The chemistry and biochemistry faculty have earned national and global acclaim for their excellence in both teaching and research. Students and professors collaborate on groundbreaking research projects supported by organizations like the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Defense, and the National Institutes of Health. The department proudly hosts the prestigious Xiphophorus Genetic Stock Center. As dedicated teacher-scholars, faculty members prioritize both educational quality and student participation in their research initiatives. They actively pursue grant funding, publish their findings, and engage in service that benefits the department, institution, academic field, and broader community. Research areas span: analytical, inorganic, organic, polymer, and physical chemistry, chemical education, protein biochemistry, biomaterials, molecular biology, and biophysics.
The Master of Science (M.S.) in Chemistry program prepares students for professional chemistry careers, enhances chemistry educators' qualifications, and provides a foundation for pursuing advanced degrees.
