We are committed to the principles of green chemistry in all aspects of our program: in the classroom, in the teaching and research labs, and in lab organization and operation, with the aim of reducing or eliminating the use or generation of hazardous substances. Our program aims to train future chemists and biochemists to wisely consider the complete lifecycle of chemicals and any associated environmental impacts.

Chemistry: Bachelor of Science (B.S.)

Biochemistry: Bachelor of Science (B.S.)

Expanding the implementation of green chemistry within our teaching labs. Increasing student involvement in reaching more students regarding green chemistry principles during student-led events. Initiating conversations about green chemistry with colleagues in other disciplines and departments. Redeveloping our environmental chemistry elective with green chemistry and toxicology topics.
