Departmental Research Overview

The Faculty of the Chemistry Department at Wheaton College are involved in a variety of research projects that give students an opportunity to do independent research in collaboration with a faculty member. Faculty research is supported by the College and by external funding agencies.

Students who have participated in research are also invited to present their work in a Science Division student poster session held each fall. Additionally, the chemistry department seminars features both student, faculty and guest speakers each year. Opportunities also exist to travel to local or national meetings to present research.
