There is an active Student Chapter of the American Chemical Society in the Department. This Chapter brings in invited speakers to promote a better understanding of current chemical research to chemistry majors and to the general student population. Members of the Chapter have the opportunity to attend local, state, and regional meetings of the American Chemical Society. Chemistry majors are encouraged to conduct undergraduate research under the supervision of a full-time faculty member and to present their results in on-campus seminars and at regional meetings of the ACS and the South Carolina Academy of Science.
