化学系提供了一个灵活而充满活力的环境，可在此环境中攻读化学硕士学位或哲学博士学位。学生有机会与对生物化学，化学教育，环境化学和材料科学以及分析，无机，有机和物理化学感兴趣的教师一起工作。该学院在合成（无机，有机，聚合物和超分子合成），表面化学（催化和腐蚀研究），光谱学（红外激光光谱和拉曼和表面增强拉曼方法的生物分析应用），结构生物学（使用NMR）方面有活跃的研究计划。 ，量热和计算方法）和生物物理研究（包括发现癌症药物）。环境研究计划的重点是新型微型化学传感器的开发以及农药和除草剂的运输，而计算化学家正在
The M.S. and Ph.D. programs allow a student to study a wide variety of research topics in the traditional areas of chemistry (Inorganic, Analytical, Organic, and Physical) and related disciplines of Biochemistry, Chemical Education, Environmental Chemistry, Biophysics, and Chemical Biology. The choice of basic and applied projects provides the flexibility to match the interests of virtually all students.Among the areas of active research are: protein folding and intrinsically disordered proteins, metalloenzymes, supramolecular compounds, buckybowls, chemical sensors, scanning electrochemical microscopy, synthesis of oxygen heterocycles, catalysis, retrosynthesis of biologically active natural products, photochemistry and solar energy, next generation organometallic ligands, OLED compounds, nano-materials, computational chemistry of classic organic reactions, computation chemistry of enzymes, drug design and discovery, and higher order nucleic acid chemistry.
