The Chemistry program at Augustana provides students with an exciting hands-on approach to learning about the fascinating area of Chemistry. We pride ourselves in offering a program that focuses on strength in teaching and positive interaction between faculty and students. Faculty are dedicated to excellence in teaching. Small classes allow for individual attention; professors become better acquainted with each of their students. Well structured lectures place an emphasis on the understanding of theory and practice, not rote memorization. Learning within a cooperative atmosphere fosters the development of good interpersonal and communication skills. Senior students have direct access to all departmental instrumentation. Qualified senior students have the opportunity to apply to work as teaching assistants in first-year labs and tutorials. Students benefit from the expertise and research interests of highly qualified faculty.
Students interact directly with their professors and fellow students in the laboratory setting. Laboratory exercises supplement and augment the material covered in the lecture portion of the course. Labs are spacious and well-equipped. All departmental instrumentation is available for student use in senior labs. In an atmosphere conducive to learning, students gain hands-on experience and develop interpersonal skills through interaction with their colleagues. |
