They have the chance to explore topics such as protein structure and function, oxygen transport systems, carbohydrate chemistry and energy generating and storage systems. A required, senior-level course challenges students to identify, design, experiment and report on a selected research problem. Since 1983, chemistry students at Texas Wesleyan have conducted full-time, sponsored research during the summer. Grants from the Robert A. Welch Foundation, the American Chemical Society, National Institutes of Health and the Petroleum Research Fund help support continuing research projects. Equipment and expertise are available to conduct library literature searches by computer.
Student participate in internship programs in industrial settings.
This is the age of information. Information drives governments, academia, industry and almost every aspect of modern life. At the center of the information age is computer science and the people who take computer technology to new levels on a daily basis. The Wesleyan computer science degree prepares students to be leaders in this challenging field with a variety of courses, including operating systems, database systems, computer graphics and numerical analysis. They put their knowledge to work on a senior-level software systems project that covers two semesters and emphasizes analysis, software design strategies, systems testing and verification, systems installation and maintenance.
