Students taking chemistry at the University of Minnesota, Morris are engaged in the study of chemistry and biochemistry and the interface of our discipline with problems in a wide variety of fields. From environmental science and materials synthesis to computational chemistry and medicinal chemistry, a major in chemistry or biochemistry is a natural bridge to a wide range of careers. Our graduates have obtained positions in research and development, teaching, health care (medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, physical therapy), materials science, toxicology, public health, immunology, geology, forensic science, chemical engineering, and molecular biology, among others. Approximately two-thirds of our graduate pursue post-graduate studies in graduate or professional school.

Chemistry faculty work closely with students, and those seeking individual attention can drop by their professor's office to get help with coursework, career advice or just to chat. All courses are taught by faculty who have the terminal degree in their field of specialization, and who are actively involved in research with undergraduates.

News & Announcements

• Research position at UMM: Prof. Jennifer Goodnough has funding for a MAP project for the 2008-2009 academic year. The project title is "Calculation of Rotational Correlation Times for N-Methylformamide (NMF)." There will be very little 'wet' chemistry but rather a lot of computational chemistry. The stipend is $2400 for the year with the expectation of ~8 hours of work/week. The MAP program is intended for Juniors (60<credits<90) with at least a 3.0 GPA. Feel free to email (jenng@morris.umn.edu) or stop by Science 1340 if you have questions or would like more information. More info on the MAP program can be found here. Students interested in this research opportunity should email Professor Goodnough and include your name, total # of credits completed by the end of the spring 2008 term, GPA and why you would like to do undergraduate research.
