The Departmental lounge provides space for students to study and relax.  Tutors are onsite during afternoon and evening hours to help with questions regarding General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Quantitative Analysis classes.  A small library of reference texts provides students with relevant study aides.  And, computers with internet access are provided for use on homework, laboratory and research projects.

Laboratory facilities (link to other webpage) support research in all major areas of chemistry, as well as environmental and medicinal chemistry.  The Department maintains a full complement of modern analytical instrumentation.  This includes:

Spectrometers

• Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometers
• UV-VIS Spectrometer
• FTIR Spectrometer
• Flame AA Spectrometer
• ICP Emission Spectrometer
• Fluorometer
• ESR Spectrometer
• Raman Spectrometer

Chromatographs

• GC and GC-MS
• HPLC
• Ion Chromatograph

Other Instruments

• Differential Scanning Calorimeter
• Polarimeter
• Refractometer

Each of these instruments is used during the course of the undergraduate laboratory curriculum.  Additionally, each can be directly used by undergraduates conducting independent research projects.

Our Departmental computational modeling facilities allow students to access state-of-the-art software packages and computers.  Students can complete calculations using modeling lab facilities in support of other research projects.   Or, students can request modeling projects be completed by trained facility staff.  Students are also engaged in modeling projects as part of the undergraduate curriculum.
