The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry offers small class sizes and the opportunity to participate with faculty in research. Accredited by the American Chemical Society (ACS), the BS in Chemistry features study in organic, inorganic, physical, analytical, and polymer chemistry. The degree requires a formal research experience. The BS in Biochemistry program was constructed following the recommendations of the American Society of Biochemists and Molecular Biologists. It, too, features a capstone research experience and is ACS Approved. We also offer a BS in Physical Sciences jointly with the Department of Physics and Astronomy. The program features a chemistry specialization and a physics specialization with each leading to high school teaching certification when combined with the BA in Education. The newly launched BA in Chemistry also prepares students to teach or to select elective opportunities to minor is many other topics. It is no overstatement to say Rowan has one of the best-equipped undergraduate labs in the country. Chemistry and Biochemistry majors regularly use sophisticated instruments such as gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy and fourier-transform, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy as well as state-of-the-art facilities in our biochemistry labs. Such equipment is often reserved for faculty and graduate research at larger universities but you'll begin using them during the freshman year here at Rowan. We planned our science building to be student centered and it has pleanty of individual and group study space. * Newsletter Volume I, Issue I. *Newsletter Volume II, Issue I. *Dr. Caputo -awarded an NIH grant *Sarah Klosek, IP Attorney -Alumna
