When you major in forensic chemistry, you'll get plenty of opportunities for hands-on learning. Our labs are based on student experiments, and you'll get the opportunity to work with instruments such as the Gas Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometer (GC/MS), the Micro Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscope (FTIR). If you're interested in an internship to enhance your education with real-world experience and connections, we will endeavor to place you in one of our labs on campus, or to help you to find an external position with a local, regional, or state agency. We also strongly encourage you to design and conduct your own empirical research project, with the help and supervision of our faculty, and to present your results at a local or national conference.
