Program Features
Facilities
Huntington
University opened a newly-constructed, 90,000 square-foot Science
Hall for the Division of Natural and
Mathematical Sciences in 2002. The new learning center features a quality
learning environment with student-friendly spaces, teaching and research
specialty equipment, well-designed laboratories and research spaces, and
multimedia classrooms in rich, art-infused aesthetic surroundings.
Instrumentation
The Huntington
University Chemistry Department’s collection of instrumentation was
increased when the new Science Hall was built in 2002. Our instruments
have been carefully chosen to be student-operable and to represent a
range of analyses encountered in both industry and research. Chemistry
majors at Huntington have the advantage of being mentored in the
operation and maintenance of these instruments.
Instrumentation includes a 200 MHz
nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer, a gas chromatograph –
mass spectrometer (GC-MS), two Fourier transform infrared
spectrophotometers (FTIRs), three UV-Visible spectrophotometers, two
fluorimeters, a gas chromatograph (GC), an atomic absorption
spectrophotometer (AA), a polarograph, a high performance liquid
chromatograph (HPLC), oxygen combustion and solution calorimeters,
Vernier LabPro interfaces, a HACH Portable Laboratory, and Wavefunction
SpartanPro molecular modeling software.
Students
and faculty also make use of
Mathematica,
a powerful computation and modeling tool.
Off-campus opportunities
Undergraduate research, internships, and job experience is encouraged
and available through a variety of off-campus learning opportunities.
These include
summer
research internships,
January Term courses, and attending professional meetings and seminars.
Coursework
Undergraduate
chemistry majors may take foundational coursework in all
five branches of
chemistry
at Huntington University.
Minors
Students majoring in
chemistry who are interested in industrial or research careers may
choose to minor in a related area such as
biology,
environmental
science,
mathematics, or
physics.
