Student Research Opportunities
One of the best ways to learn chemistry and biochemistry is to immerse yourself in the actual scientific process. Studies have shown research opportunities as an undergraduate are high impact learning experiences. The critical thinking, organizational, and communication skills you will develop doing research will benefit you no matter the career you pursue after graduating Skidmore. Research 可以 here at Skidmore with 一名教员. It can also be off-campus through an 活的经验 或者一个 实习.

Most students who major in chemistry or chemistry with a biochemistry concentration conduct at least one semester of capstone research in close collaboration with a member 化学系的老师. Research activities in the department are supported by both internal and external grants, and lead to publications in peer-reviewed science journals and presentations at local and national meetings. While conducting their research, students have direct access to all of the state-of-the-art equipment in the department.
Each Fall, the Department hosts a seminar and laboratory open house so you can learn 更多火博体育 research opportunities available. We also highly encourage you to meet with individual faculty to discuss their research. To apply for research please fill out the form and turn it into the Chemistry Office 在达纳222.
During the academic year, you can conduct research for 1 credit (CH 171), 2 credits (CH 271), 3 credits (CH 371), or 4 credits (CH 385). 为荣誉, a student must complete at least two semesters of 300-level research or equivalent, submit an honors thesis on the work, present it to the Department, as well as meet GPA要求.
