Department Description:
The department of chemistry and biochemistry is one of only two academic units to have been elevated to the status of a signature program at Ohio Northern University. This role provides both increased financial support and responsibility for the department to further its national reputation in undergraduate chemical education and research. The department offers majors in both chemistry and biochemistry, leading to either ACS-certified or basic majors in each area. In addition, the department provides basic chemical education to non-science and science majors in the other departments and colleges. Presently, six to 12 students graduate from the department each year, and they are highly successful in entering a variety of career paths such as research, industry, medicine, graduate school or teaching. An award-winning active chapter of ACS Student Affiliates provides professional and social support for the departmental students. The department staff consists of 12 full-time faculty members, six adjunct instructors, a materials manager, an introductory lab coordinator, and a departmental administrative assistant. The department has a wide range of research-grade instrumentation including a 200 MHz NMR, FTIR, ICP-OES, UV-Vis, XRF(EDS), HPLC, GC, GC-MS, RGA/mass analyzer, CV, spectrofluorimeter, and several laser-based spectrometers. The department is also equipped with an eight-station computational chemistry lab and cluster. Facilities totaling approximately 33,000 ft2 include nine classrooms, 17 offices, 13 research labs, stockroom preparation areas, conference rooms and nine traditional teaching labs. Much of this space is located in the new Mathile Center for the Natural Sciences. Additional information is available on the department Web site at www.onu.edu/chemisty
