Hands-on, Practical Approach to Chemistry in the Lab and the Classroom

Through lab research experiences, training in green chemistry principles, and use of modern instrumentation, we prepare chemistry majors for a broad range of careers including medical school, graduate school, and industrial careers.

Work Collaboratively in Our Modern Laboratories with State-of-the-Art Instrumentation

St. °µÍø½ûÇø's chemistry department offers three different major tracks: an American Chemical Society (ACS)-approved concentration, a core chemistry concentration, and a biochemistry concentration.

At St. Kate's, you will have the opportunity to work collaboratively in our modern laboratories with state-of-the-art instrumentation. Our laboratories feature more than a half-million dollars’ worth of instrumentation, including NMR, HPLC, X-ray crystallography, and mass spectrometry.

You will gain hands-on experience using this equipment to solve problems in chemistry. You will also learn to propose new ways to investigate problems, complete experiments, and analyze data.

In addition to your coursework, you will have the opportunity to participate in student-faculty collaborative research projects and present the results of your research at local, regional, and national meetings of the , the , and the .

All students in the chemistry program are trained in green chemistry and toxicology as part of the department's pledge to the . This training will prepare you for a career in chemistry that is both environmentally responsible and safe.
