Chemistry and Biochemistry Resources and Services

Career Information

Chemistry is the central science and that means getting a chemistry degree opens up many opportunities for your career. If you are interested in working in agriculture, pharmaceuticals, pertrochemicals, flavors, fragrances, forensics, or environmental - chemistry is the undergraduate degree you need.

Maybe you see yourself going to graduate school in chemistry, biochemistry, pharmaceutical science or environmental science. Or maybe you are pre-med, pre-dent, etc. Chemistry turns out to be a better choice for an undergraduate degree as it allows you to stand out in the application process and makes you better prepared for the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). No matter what your career plans, if you are interested in any of these areas, talk to a chemistry faculty member.

For more information about careers for chemists check out:

Opportunities to do Undergraduate Research

Thinking about going to graduate school or professional school (medical, pharmacy, dentistry etc.)? Then make the most out of your undergraduate experience and do some undergraduate research. Find out more here Undergraduate Research Opportunities and Resources.

Scholarships

Throughout the year a limited number of scholarships are available to chemistry majors. Most scholarships required that you submit a curriculum vitae, a statement about your goals and/or career path, and transcripts (unofficial ones are OK in most situations). Please see our Scholarships page for details.

SciFinder

SciFinder is a research tool used by scientists around the world to access single- and multi-step reactions, experimental and predicted properties, and substance information from the CAS Registry for chemical substance information. Students can and .

ChemSketch

The department has ChemSketch installed on all computers in the Student Computer Lab, Room 3008. More information about ChemSketch can be found .

Chemistry Computer Lab

A chemistry computer lab is available for you to study, prepare your lab reports, complete online homework in Building 50, Room 3008. The computers are equipped with software to draw chemical structures (). Web cameras are available for use.

Library/Search Facilities and Chemistry Tools

The Department of Chemistry has online access to full ACS journals, articles, and many other non-ACS journals via ScienceDirect and other chemistry databases, available through the 香港六合彩开奖结果2023 Thomas Carpenter Library. For more information, contact Sarah Moukhliss.

The is one of the world's leading scientific publishers, offering an exceptional range of peer-reviewed journals, magazines, books, databases and publishing services to the chemical science community.

Chemistry Tune Up Course

Chemistry is offering a program to help our students succeed in Chemistry. The Chemistry faculty have found students that are struggling in the course after the first exam are less likely to complete CHM2045 with a C or better. For that reason, Chemistry is offering a “tune-up” that allows the student to transfer out of CHM2045 and into CHM1025 (Introduction to Chemistry). This will allow the student to acquire the skills and knowledge needed for success prior to re-enrolling in CHM2045 the following semester. Click here for more information.
