Welcome to RU Chemistry!

Our faculty are dedicated to providing an excellent undergraduate chemistry degree program, taking a very hands-on approach both in the classroom and laboratory. We offer several degree options to meet your needs, and most of our students go on to attend graduate school.

The chemistry major provides a natural path for those seeking a doctoral degree in pharmacy as well as professional degrees in medicine and dentistry. Our program also offer a 3/2 program leading to a degree in Chemistry from RU and a degree in Chemical Engineering from Virginia Tech.

The importance of student engagement in research is encourgaged and most Chemistry students participate in undergraduate research during their time at RU.
