A high priority for the faculty is collaborative research with majors who chose to do undergraduate research. In past years, students have traveled to national conferences to present their research. Many students have gone on to pursue their Ph.D. degree in chemistry upon graduating from Regis. The department is proud to boast of its exceptionally well-equipped facility. In the last year alone, we have acquired about I million dollars worth of instrumentation.
Students gain valuable hands-on experience with the equipment throughout their degree program.
Regis chemistry majors will learn directly from their professors who, by the end of four years, will get to know them quite well. The chemistry department encourages and places numerous students each year into summer research positions at various goverment, academic, and industrial institutions. Last summer four majors were placed into biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry programs that paid for their housing and salary. Several other students were placed into various nationally sponsored programs at major academic research universities. The chemistry department is pleased to be able to offer individual attention to all of its majors.
