DEPARTMENT: CHEMISTRY

Union College and its Chemistry Department have a rich tradition of student-faculty research. Students participate in the campus-wide Steinmetz Symposium, present at conferences and publish in leading journals. Each year, the department offers 30-40 summer research fellowships, with students also pursuing opportunities at other institutions and government labs.

Chemistry majors often study abroad in Sicily, conducting research with scientists at Palermo's National Research Council.
