CHEM 4130 Research for Course Credit

Many students choose to get course credit for completing research projects as part of an Independent Study class (CHEM 4130). Students need to meet with potential faculty mentors to discuss the project. To register for CHEM 4130, students need to obtain a form from the Chemistry Department office and get faculty signatures to be added to the course. This needs to be completed before standard add deadlines each semester.
