focus their research in the areas of computational and materials chemistry.
Recipients of the BS in Chemistry, and in some cases the BA and
BA with Teaching Certification, are certified by the American
Chemical Society (ACS) as meeting requirements for professional training
of chemists. Courses required for ACS certification may be obtained from
the Chair of the Undergraduate Affairs Committee.
 At the graduate level, student stipends, including teaching assistantships
and research fellowships, are available from a variety of sources. Further information may be obtained from the
Chair of the Graduate Affairs Committee. Other scholarships may be
available.
The Department has an active chapter of Alpha Chi Sigma. The
Beta Eta Chapter of AXE is very active by performing Chemical
Shows, selling goggles for lab classes, organic model kit sales,
hosting mixers, hosting an annual chili cook-off, and is active with other AXE
chapters in the area.
