Coker's chemistry program comprehensively prepares its students for all of these professions. Undergraduate research and internships, which emphasize practical application of chemistry, are a vital part of Coker's chemistry program. Its graduates are also able to pursue divergent careers because the program emphasizes not only the practice of science but also its underlying principles. The HSAC guides these students toward their career goals and provides letters of recommendation to professional schools on their behalf. Facilities Chemistry laboratories and classrooms are located in the William Chambers Coker Science Building.
Students use instrumentation as early as their freshman year.
My experiences in the Chemistry program at Coker prepared me very well for one of the top graduate schools in the nation. The family atmosphere, the small class size, and the personal attention from the faculty enabled me to achieve a better understanding of the course work. The research I did during my senior year provided me with a glimpse of how chemistry and biology play an important part in society. I feel that Coker not only provided me with an academic education, it also provided me with an education in the realities of life.
