The Chemistry Department at Central Michigan University is recognized as a student oriented faculty that focuses on quality teaching and involvement of students in internationally disseminated research. A modern chemist needs to be an entrepreneur and is called upon to solve complex problems related to the environment, synthesis of new drugs, process engineering, computers, the human genome, renewable resources for energy, and advanced materials. We prepare our undergraduate and graduate students to meet these challenges by requiring a high level of course work and state-of-the-art research. Our undergraduate students complete and submit an undergraduate thesis and the majority of our graduate students defend a research thesis.
The CMU Chemistry Department is fully accredited by the American Chemical Society to award degrees certified by the Society. This is a result of rigorous examination by the Society of our faculty, programs, library, laboratory facilities, and ability to finance the high cost of chemical education. Because of the high caliber of our graduates, many Ph.D. granting institutions and industrial corporations look to CMU for their future students and employees. We maintain strong ties to local industry, such as the Dow Chemical Company and Dow Corning Corporation, which are only minutes from Mt. Pleasant.
