Undergraduate Study in Chemistry
The B.S. degree in Chemistry is accredited by the American Chemical Society.
Undergraduate Research
We encourage all of our undergraduates to participate in independent research.
There are two ways to get hands-on experience in chemistry.
- Take Chem 499 (or 497 for Honors students) to do research with a faculty member. Descriptions of the faculty research are available here at the University of Akron website, and also at the ACS Directory of Graduate Research (DGR).
- Take Chem 399 to do an internship in an industrial, hospital or other off-campus laboratory. Your advisor can tell you about Chem 497 or 499, and Professor Tessier is in charge of Chem 399.
