Undergraduate Chemistry
Chemistry is a rapidly changing science. The strong commitment to research excellence at Purdue results in a faculty who are at the leading edge of this change and who can constantly revise their courses to keep up with the latest advances in our understanding of chemistry. We believe that research is an integral portion of the training of chemists, and many of our undergraduate chemistry majors join research groups More information on our undergraduate program can be found on our CHM 499 web page. Working closely with faculty, graduate students and post-doctoral fellows, our undergraduate chemistry majors are not only exposed to what chemistry is, they begin to appreciate how new chemical knowledge is obtained.
The strong emphasis on technical careers at Purdue University has advantages for our chemistry majors. They can select from a large number of electives in chemical engineering, materials science, physics, computer science and many more fields.
