Megan Beshirs received her undergraduate education, B.S. in Chemistry, from Southeastern Oklahoma State University.  She spent a year working as an environmental contractor for the EPA and two years working at her alma mater as a lab coordinator.  She returned to graduate school at Oklahoma State University, where her research work was focused on X-ray crystallography and viral proteins. 

After graduating with her master’s degree in chemistry, she went on to attend Louisiana State University - Health Sciences Center in Shreveport, LA studying biochemistry.  However, during her time there, she felt a need to turn her focus to teaching.  She has taught at two different community colleges and spent a few years teaching at Xavier University in New Orleans.

Professor Beshirs teaches labs for Basic Ideas (non-chemistry majors), General Chemistry I and II, Environmental Chemistry, and Physical Chemistry.  She also holds a dual role as lab coordinator for the Chemistry department.
