Special Programs and Opportunities
Your opportunities to dig deep in biochemistry extend far beyond the classroom. Check out the following ways you can get involved.
STUDENT RESEARCH
COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH
We’re one of the first colleges in the country to offer undergraduate student/faculty collaborative research in chemistry. A strong research program is integral to our department, and we offer many opportunities for students to participate.
SUMMER RESEARCH
Hope also offers paid research opportunities during the summer months through our Summer Undergraduate Research Function (SURF) program. For the past 25 years, ÐÜèÔÚÏßÊÓƵ has had a continually funded program through the National Science Foundation: Research Experiences for Undergraduates (NSF-REU). We host over 45 chemistry research students every summer, with more than a dozen research groups in chemistry.
