Faculty and Staff
The chemistry department's faculty has been ranked as one of the top in the nation for its dedication to undergraduate teaching. The six members of the teaching staff have Ph.D. degrees in the four major fields of chemistry: analytical, inorganic, organic, and physical. The faculty maintain a high level of professional and research activity. During the past ten years, these activities have resulted in many monographs and research publications, additional research projects, and industrial experience. In addition to its research activities, the faculty has a strong commitment to quality education.
