Let's go smaller. And bigger.
Considering a big research institution with huge classes taught by grad students? Or thinking about a private university with only a handful of chemistry faculty?
There is another option: Calvin.
As an undergraduate chemistry student, you’ll conduct chemistry research alongside topnotch faculty. And your labs won’t look like they did in high school. Your research will confront real-world challenges like diabetes and environmental sustainability. You will work with other curious students in a community that is serious about chemistry and faith. That’s a pretty big impact for your undergraduate education.
