Licenciatura en Química

The degree in Chemistry is designed for those who wish to work as laboratory scientists or those interested in pursuing research or graduate studies. The program is thorough and rigorous, and the explorations of a wide variety of career possibilities in research areas are possible. There are two well-equipped research labs, and students are encouraged to be involved in the research.

Opportunities that are not part of any regular program exist on and off-campus to provide sound practical experiences, such as student assistants, participation in the campus-tutoring programs, and field studies. Internships at numerous facilities are available to students to develop and apply their skills. Students can do (and have done) internships at Dakota Gasification Company in Beulah, N.D.; American Crystal Sugar in Hillsboro, N.D.; and Minnesota Valley Testing Laboratories in Bismarck, N.D. They also have completed summer REUs (Research Experience for Undergrads) at North Dakota State University and the University of North Dakota. The Rhoades Science Center includes a greenhouse for work in biology and botany, a planetarium, and laboratories for biology, chemistry, earth science, physics, computer science, and photography studies.
