Guilford's chemistry program features Integrated Lab, one of the most innovative approaches to teaching chemistry used in any college or university in the country. The lab involves students at all levels, from sophomores to seniors, working in small research teams on problems and projects they have chosen. Because Integrated Lab exposes students to diverse areas of chemistry and develops teamwork and problem-solving skills, Guilford chemistry grads are well prepared for advanced study or jobs in the field.
"One of the things we have in this building is completely state-of-the-art chemical safety. In the organic lab, for example, every student does chemistry in a chemical fume hood that's designed to suck out all the chemical fumes as they're being generated. In our general chemistry lab, we have downdraft fume hoods, which also suck out all the fumes as they are generated. So a very, very important issue was for students is to be able to do chemistry in a safe environment." |
