Introduction
The UW-Green Bay chemistry program is an integrated progression of lecture and laboratory instruction that is designed to provide students with the skills needed by chemists today. These skills include a solid understanding of chemical principles, hands-on training in the use of modern instrumentation, experience in the design of experiments and the ability to analyze data and present results. Students are encouraged to refine these skills by engaging in research. The majority of UW-Green Bay chemistry majors have opportunities to work as research assistants on faculty projects, or to conduct their own independent projects. UW-Green Bay faculty are active in research on chemical catalysis, sol-gel chemistry, natural product synthesis, alternative and renewable energy, chemistry of ultrasound, polymeric surfactant synthesis and application, mesoporous material synthesis and application, chemistry of colors (computation), photocatalysis, sensors, environmental chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology. Experience in research is very important when entering the job market and in applying to graduate and professional schools.
The UW-Green Bay chemistry program is certified by the American Chemical Society (A.C.S.). Students who want to add depth to their programs may pursue an A.C.S.-certified major in either chemistry or environmental chemistry. Students who complete these majors are registered with the A.C.S. and have the certification recorded on their official University credentials.
Chemistry majors must combine their studies with an interdisciplinary major or minor. A chemistry major combined with a minor in human biology is excellent training for students aiming for professional schools in the health sciences, medicine, dentistry, and veterinary medicine. Environmental science would be an appropriate interdisciplinary minor for students planning careers as chemists or in environmental studies or pursuing graduate studies in chemistry. About half of UW-Green Bay chemistry majors continue their studies in graduate or professional schools.
