Consult Professor D. Stone, Department of Chemistry.
The Focus in Practical Chemical Analysis provides students with the opportunity to emphasize chemical detection, identification, and measurement in a laboratory setting as part of any chemistry specialist or major program they are enrolled in. Having experience with and an understanding of methods for chemical analysis is of considerable value for both potential employers and students pursuing postgraduate research. Chemical analysis has wide application in fields as diverse as alternative energy and storage solutions; clinical medicine and research; drinking water quality and regulatory compliance; environmental monitoring and remediation; food quality and safety; pharmaceutical development, testing, and quality assurance; and product manufacturing and quality control.
