Chemistry

Get a leg-up on the competition in science-related careers and graduate school in Wingate’s Chemistry and Physics Department. Master the fundamentals of chemistry and physics in the lab while gaining hands-on experience with major scientific instrumentation. Work side-by-side at the bench with university professors in collaborative research that results in regional and national presentations and even publication. 

Lecture & Laboratory Classes

• Learn across the curriculum from professors who connect the study of chemistry and physics to other STEM areas in one of our four new research labs.
• Train on scientific instruments as early as sophomore year to develop skills that will make you career-ready.

Research with Faculty

• Work collaboratively with a professor on research projects that challenge you to problem solve and hone your laboratory skills.
• Pursue summer research at Wingate that provides a stipend and covers housing and travel costs related to the research project. 
• Become part of the wider scientific community when you present your research at regional and national conferences.

Internships

• Experience life as a practicing chemist and earn academic credit with an internship. 
• Many Wingate students participate in undergraduate research through the National Science Foundation and get paid to do summer research with companies and institutions. 

Chemistry Club

• Join our award-winning chapter of the American Chemical Society and bond with others who share your interests!
• This student-led organization takes chemistry out of the lab and into the community with outings, community service, and chemistry demonstrations at local schools.
