Undergraduate Research

• The department strongly encourages faculty-directed undergraduate research.
• The ACS-accredited major requires three terms of senior research culminating in a thesis.
• Senior research may be coupled with an active summer research program in which students work full time and receive stipends from faculty research grants, industrial fellowships, alumni gifts, or the College.
• All of our research students present their work at local and/or national conferences, and many are co-authors of publications with faculty

Information about each faculty member's research is available on the Nexus site “Chemistry and Biochemistry Students”. All majors are enrolled in this posting. If you do not see this course in your list, please contact the Chemistry Department Administrative Assistant and request access.

See the Union College Undergraduate Research website for information about summer research, funding research, conference travel, etc.
