CHEM 498 - Undergraduate Research Experience

The senior research experience is intended to provide an opportunity for students to participate in an independent, investigative research project as part of the requirements for the bachelor of science degree in chemistry. The students carry out novel laboratory or field research in the chemical sciences. Pedagogical projects will be considered, but require departmental approval. A written report and a public oral presentation (preferably on Student Projects Day) are required for completion of the course. Four hours of laboratory or field work are required per semester hour. The program requires a minimum of 3 credit hours during the senior year.
Prerequisite(s): CHEM 390, permission of instructor and senior standing.
