Opportunities and Activities

American Chemical Society

Many undergraduates participate in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry's national award-winning American Chemical Society Student Members organization. Students have the opportunity to experience the wide range of career opportunities in the field through guest speakers, field trips, and industrial visits.

ACS Student Affiliation In-Miniature Symposium

The annual ACS In-Miniature Symposium affords students the opportunity to conduct undergraduate research which can significantly influence their future careers in chemistry and the chemical sciences.

Undergraduate Research Program

The Undergraduate Research Program provides students with essential research experience for a career in the sciences or science-related fields. This program offers students the opportunity to experience science through the successes and failures of scientific research. Students are encouraged to start research as early as their freshman year, allowing them to gain as much experience as possible.

Research Facilities and Centers

We strongly encourage students to engage in laboratory research as part of their science education to develop technical skills and a mastery of subject matter. Duquesne University has three cutting-edge research centers:

»  Center for Metals in Biological Systems (cMBS)
»  Center for Computational Sciences
»  Center for Microwave and Analytical Chemistry
