Undergraduate research projects often lead to publications in professional journals and to presentation at local and national meetings. Opportunities for undergraduate research in chemistry at Rocky Mountain College have included studies on the structure and function of polymers and surfactants and the environmental impact of pharmaceutical products in rivers and streams around the state.

There are also a wide variety of summer internships and research opportunities available in laboratories at other institutions for undergraduate students interested in chemistry and biochemistry. Many of these opportunities are funded by the National Science Foundation's Research Experiences for Undergraduates (NSF-REU) program. If you are interested in learning more about these types of opportunities, you can visit the NSF-REU website or speak with a member of the chemistry department or your academic advisor.

Please contact a specific chemistry professor for additional information on his or her research interests.
