Students from our department tend to have strong credentials and typically go on to medical school or graduate studies in chemistry.

The department sponsors several student organizations, including the Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society, the National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers, and Gamma Sigma Epsilon (the national chemistry honorary). Gamma Sigma Epsilon aims to recognize academic performance by chemistry majors, promote an interest in chemistry among students and the community and foster a feeling of fellowship among its members. To be eligible for membership, students must have completed or be near completion of their second year of chemistry courses, as well as have a minimum 3.3 cumulative GPA and a 3.3 GPA in all chemistry courses. Applications for membership are generally accepted in the spring semester.
