Final approval of transfer credit is contingent upon satisfactory performance on a competency examination to be administered by the department preceding the fall term. Students considering a summer chemistry course must obtain a copy of the department criteria from the department office. This must be done before the summer course is taken. The Department of Chemistry offers a rich summer research program in all fields of chemistry and in biochemistry. A large number of research assistantships are awarded each summer.
Students receive stipends, and campus housing is available at a reduced rate.
Awards are made on a competitive basis to students who have completed at least one year of study. Typical summer research appointments are for ten full weeks, but other terms are possible by prior arrangement. Summer research students may elect to join an ongoing research group or may design individual projects in consultation with one or more faculty members. Students should contact the department chair or a faculty mentor for details before the application deadline. All Rights Reserved.
