Every chemistry major must complete 3 credits of additional laboratory work. You may take Chemistry 346 or any 500-level laboratory, or you can do independent research by enrolling in any of the 600-level directed study courses.
In order to enroll in any of the directed study courses below, you must first find a research advisor who will sponsor you to work in his or her lab for the semester. Together, the professor and the student will agree on a study plan and determine the number of credits to be earned. Finally, you must complete a Chemistry Research Authorization Form and return it to Dr. Cheri Barta (Room 8442 Chemistry Building).
