Faculty Mentored Undergraduate Scholarship (FMUS): The FMUS Program allows students to work one-on-one with faculty during the summer months to conduct original research. Students are paid a stipend for approximately an eight-week period of full-time research. Often the summer work results in a paper presentation at a professional meeting such as the Indiana Academy of Sciences or a journal publication. These experiences are fulfilling in themselves but they also improve job and graduate school applications. Each member of the chemistry department has specific research interests. Contact faculty members to receive more information on areas of study.

Contact faculty members to receive more information on areas of study.
Independent Research: Students may also choose to do research as a course (CHE 450) during the academic year. This advanced learning experience also contributes to successful job and graduate school applications.
Course Research Projects: Certain courses include a research component that allows students to participate in original research. Organic laboratory students in their second semester work in groups to solve a problem in organic chemistry. Work is generally started in previous classes. Students do a literature search, plan work and conduct the synthesis, analyses and other experiments. The experience culminates in an oral presentation of the results. Some students in the physical chemistry laboratory do research projects generally dealing with some aspect of thermodynamics, kinetics, photochemistry, molecular structure, computer interfacing or computational chemistry.
Internships: Students interested in extra-curricular activities can explore a wide range of research opportunities available during both the summer months and the school year. Research projects equip students with practical skills in organization, problem-solving and teamwork. Faculty members encourage ambitious students to pursue these areas of study to prepare them for experiences beyond college.
