Research Programs

The Department of Science, Technology, & Mathematics administers research programs and projects and ongoing undergraduate research experiences (UREs).

The Chemistry & Physics Program sponsors undergraduate research experiences in environmental science, nanotechnology, organic chemistry, and pharmacognosy during the academic year and paid summer internships.

The Molecular Genetics Laboratory sponsors undergraduate research experiences in molecular genetics, bioinformatics, and ecology during the academic year, and summer internship opportunities. 

The Genetics Program has provided genetic evaluation and counseling services to members of the Deaf community and other deaf and hard of hearing people for more than 20 years. Research at the genetics program focuses on identifying genes that are involved in deafness and understanding the impact that advances in genetic technology have on the Deaf and hearing communities.
