Research is required for the B.S. Degree in both Chemistry and Biochemistry. Research is most frequently done during the summer of the junior year either at UD or at other institutions. Research students receive a stipend for work and often also room and board. Students frequently present their research at professional meetings.
All faculty in the department have active research labs with external funding. Over the last 20 years, the department has benefited from the Robert A. Welch Foundation, the W.M. Keck Foundation, Argonne National Lab, and the ACS Petroleum Research Foundation. All students can contact faculty to learn more about research positions in the summer or during the school year.
