Department Spotlight
The Department is located on the third floor of Wilson Hall, where most departmental classes are held. The physics, geology, physical science, and science education laboratories are also located on the third floor, while the chemistry laboratories are in the adjacent Nettie Stevens Center. Chemical instrumentation (infrared, ultraviolet, flame emission and atomic absorption spectrophotometers, gas and liquid chromatographs) and biochemical instrumentation (FPLC, ultra freezer, thermostated shakers and centrifuges, gel electrophoresis, plate reader) are available for laboratory courses and undergraduate research. The Department is also home to a small geology museum and a computer-controlled 8-inch Meade telescope.
