Student continues to build on their knowledge of the methods of research including the use of research literature and instruction in more advanced experimental and theoretical procedures and techniques. Students can conduct their research within the Dept of Chemistry or in a related science with approval. Under the supervision of faculty but may work closely with a Post-Doc or graduate student.

Food plays an important role in nearly every culture. We will discover the importance of chemistry & culture for various cooking processes such as boiling, baking, roasting, pickling, & frying. We will spend time thinking about cultures across the globe as well as local food cultures. We will also explore how chemical compounds like proteins, acids, sugars, and carbohydrates, influence the taste, texture, and aroma of foods.

Introduces the methods of research that include use of the research literature and instruction in basic experimental and theoretical procedures and techniques. Students can conduct their research within the Dept of Chemistry or in a related science with approval. Under the supervision of faculty but may work closely with a Post-Doc or graduate student.

Provides professional development for graduate students concerning the theory & practice of scientific research. To familiarize students with faculty research and the tools for research. Students attend a series of faculty research presentations & additional lectures concerning library & research resources. Requires to attend departmental seminars & colloquia to expand their knowledge of current experimental & theoretical frontiers in chemistry.

For students pursuing a masters degree and conducting research.

Independent research working toward doctoral degree under the supervision of assigned faculty member using appropriate techniques and instrumentation.

For doctoral research, taken before a dissertation advisor has been selected.
