Prospective Students
B.S. in Environmental Chemistry

We offer both undergraduate and graduate programs in Environmental Chemistry.

Undergraduate Program

Students in the undergraduate program in the Environmental Chemistry option take all the core chemistry courses as outlined on the chemistry curriculum.

In the senior year, students take the following courses related to Environmental Chemistry.

Environmental Chemistry I, Environmental Chemistry II, Analytical Methods I and II and a Professional Chemistry Course.

imagesThe senior year culminates in a senior research project undertaken under the supervision of one of the chemistry faculty. Their research interests range from laboratory to field-intensive studies.

Any questions, send us an email, or phone (315) 470-6855

Graduate Program

Incoming graduate students in Environmental Chemistry are required to take two introductory lecture courses and one laboratory course in environmental chemistry.

  • FCH510 Environmental Chemistry I -Aquatic Chemistry
  • FCH511 Environmental Chemistry II - Atmospheric Chemistry

Advanced courses in Environmental Chemistry are also offered, such as Chromatography, Environmental Organic Chemistry, and Atmospheric Photochemistry and Kinetics.

To ensure that students obtain a strong background in the fundamentals of chemistry, they are required to make selections from among basic graduate courses in Analytical, Physical, Organic, and Inorganic Chemistry from the offerings of Syracuse University.

Students are also encouraged to take related graduate and upper-division undergraduate courses offered in other departments at ESF and at Syracuse University.

Research is at the core of any Ph.D. program and students work on a wide range of topics.

  • Prospective graduate students are strongly encouraged to contact any professor whose research is of interest!

Financial Support

Selected applicants to the graduate program will be offered a full tuition waiver and a 12 month stipend that will cover their living expenses, and the costs of books and fees. Students are supported primarily as research assistants rather than teaching assistants, and as a result they have more time to devote to their research.
