• Analytical Chemistry 鈥� foundation for qualitative and quantitative aspects of chemical reactions
• Physical Chemistry 鈥� physical basis for molecular reactions
• Biochemistry 鈥� connection to living organisms

Licensure majors learn pedagogical skills applicable every day in their classrooms.

In addition to classroom learning, you will perform cutting-edge research. There are nine faculty with active research agendas in various sub-disciplines who present wonderful opportunities for undergraduates to obtain valuable research experience, which immensely helps students in advancing their future careers.

鈥淣ano around you鈥� and "Community college" student outreach programs

Dr. Song Guo, a recipient of a prestigious NSF CAREER award, is running an outreach program called, 鈥淣ano around you.鈥� As a part of this program, in addition to providing research experience for undergraduate and graduate students, he periodically conducts High School Polymer Nanowhisker Workshops, which are high school student research experiences with a particular emphasis on lower income students.

Dr. Julie Pigza, a recipient of a prestigious NSF CAREER award, is hosting outreach programs focusing on transfer student success. These initiatives will provide authentic research experiences, workshops, and skill-building activities to students who traditionally are not exposed to laboratory research at their community college.
