|| Undergraduate Program Courses:                                                                    
CHEM 472 Senior Project II (0-8-2):
Students continue their research under the direct guidance of faculty members. Students are given the opportunity to be trained on and use advanced experimental techniques in a specific research project to enhance their independent thinking and develop skills of executing their own experiments.

CHEM 471 Senior Project I (0-8-2):
Students are introduced to research through a specific research project under the direct guidance of faculty members. They are exposed to the fundamentals of basic research where they experience various experimental techniques, analyzing data, interpreting results and directing their focus to the process of scientific discovery.  

Instrumental chemical analysis CHEM 323 (2:0:2):
Instrumental analysis techniques such as molecular and atomic spectrophotometry: absorption and emission spectroscopy, electroanalytical techniques of analysis with emphasis on potentiometry and voltammetry, chromatography, and thermal analysis.  

 Instrumental chemical analysis CHEM 323 Lab (0:4:1):
Experiments related to qualitative and quantitative analysis using various instrumental techniques.


 Basics of Environmental Chemistry CHEM 111 (2:0:2):
