The Chemistry Department consists of five full-time, tenured faculty supported by a full-time laboratory manager and electronics specialist and a part-time administrative assistant. It occupies 19,000 square feet of office, classroom, teaching and instrument laboratory, and faculty and student research space on the third floor of the 81,000 square fosot Archibald Granville Bush Science Center.

It is equipped with nearly a million dollars worth of modern research quality and instructional instrumentation with which students have numerous "hands-on" operational/experimental experiences. This equipment has been obtained from grants from the National Science Foundation, Research Corporation, and a number of private foundations. New instrumentation acquisition and replacement is supported by a third endowment, the Cram fund, initiated by the Kresge Foundation, which is shared with several other science departments.

 

 

“I got my first degree from Rollins and this provided me with a superb base for what's happened in the meantime. It started me on the road to thinking broadly. I developed a general philosophy there. I had all kinds of doors opened for me. It was a good place to start my career. I'm very appreciative of Rollins.”
Dr. Donald J. Cram, Rollins Class of 1941, recipient of the 1987 Nobel Prize in Chemistry

 

 

If you are interested in studying chemistry or biochemistry in a learning environment of small classes, and in collaborations with faculty mentors, you should consider study at Rollins College.

If you are interested in experiencing chemical and biochemical research first-hand during the academic year for credit, during the summer for pay and housing, or through an internship, you should consider study at Rollins College.

If you are interested in learning to operate and use modern state-of-the-art scientific instrumentation in an innovative, laboratory-rich curriculum you should consider study at Rollins College.

At Rollins, chemistry and biochemistry students receive an educational experience that balances a thorough and rigorous program of study in the chemical sciences, with an intensive immersion into the liberal arts and sciences. This educational experience provides you with opportunities to connect modern chemical theory with its practice and application, and emphasizes the experimental nature of chemistry in excellent facilities, one-on-one collaboration with faculty using state-of-the-art research quality instruments in an innovative investigation-based curriculum that will prepare you to be a well-trained and successful life-long learner.
