Chemistry Lab The hole in the ozone layer has reached record dimensions. Energy resources are being stretched to the limit. New diseases — and new forms of old diseases — are cropping up all over the world. At the center of these and many other world problems is chemistry, which seeks microscopic solutions to global problems.
Molecules: Get in the lab early and often.


THE MARQUETTE ADVANTAGE

GET IN THE LAB EARLY AND OFTEN. Get results. As an undergraduate, you’ll assist your professors in organic, analytical, physical and inorganic chemical research, giving you the opportunity not just to test current theories, but to make new discoveries in the field of chemistry.

UNPARALLELED ACCESS TO PROFESSORS. Work with your professors on the research they conduct with grants from the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and other federal and foundation sources.

TAP INTO YOUR NETWORK. Our chapter of Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society has been recognized by the organization for its excellent chapter events, including career development activities and professional networking.

BETTER LIVING THROUGH ZEBRAFISH. While humans don’t seem to have much in common with zebrafish, we do share many of the same proteins. One of our chemistry professors is using this knowledge to explore better therapeutics for breast cancer.

WHERE OUR GRADUATES GO
Jobs are waiting for chemists with bachelor of science degrees. That means that you won’t need to go to graduate school to secure your future — unless, of course, you want to. Marquette chemistry grads work as chemistry teachers, chemists, researchers, professors, doctors and attorneys.
