Welcome to the Department of Chemistry
and Biochemistry at Kennesaw State University. Our department offers
ACS accredited degree programs in chemistry, biochemistry, and
environmental chemistry, and concentrations in forensic chemistry
and chemistry education.
In Chemistry and Biochemistry, we have a bright and energetic
faculty and a dedicated, helpful professional staff who are all
available to assist our students as they grow and mature as
scientists. The faculty members have research interests that span
all of the typical sub-disciplines of chemistry: analytical, bio-,
environmental, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry.
Undergraduate research is a critical component of our students’
preparation and training, and all of our faculty members engage in
undergraduate research. Additionally, we actively pursue internships
and external undergraduate research opportunities for our students.
Our department also has a significant focus on chemistry education
and teacher training, and one of our main goals is to work with
KSU’s Bagwell College of Education to prepare high school chemistry
teachers that are effective and engaging educators in the classroom,
providing them with the tools and support to help them succeed.
Our department has experienced extraordinary growth in the last few
years, growing from 79 majors in chemistry and biochemistry in the
Fall of 1998 semester to nearly 600 majors in the Fall of 2007. We
have an active chapter of the Student Affiliates of the American
Chemical Society (SAACS) and the National Organization of Black Chemists
and Chemical Engineers (NOBCChE).
Please feel free to browse the site and find out more about our
department. If you have any questions, please email either myself
mbmitchell@kennesaw.edu
or Mrs. Wanda Sexton (wsexton@kennesaw.edu) our departmental administrative
assistant. Thank you for your interest in KSU! Go Owls!
