Students and the Educational Experience |
||
Our students have the opportunity to learn chemistry through exceptionally close interactions with the faculty who have a special interest in teaching as well as
research. The number of students participating in a graduate seminar
typically ranges between three and eight. Students are kept aware of
the latest developments in chemistry through the departmental
colloquium, where faculty, postdoctoral researchers, and students
gather to hear chemists from other institutions present their latest
research. In addition, the biology, geology, and physics colloquia
often have topics of interest to chemists. Beyond our campus, the
Philadelphia area is rich with pharmaceutical industry and other
academic institutions which provide a rich array of seminar
opportunities.
