About Us
We are a medium-size chemistry department with a great atmosphere of cooperation. Our size facilitates close interaction among faculty and between research groups and creates a setting that's appealing to many students and in which they can thrive professionally.
Our undergraduate program offers BA and BS degrees with a BS/American Chemical Society certification option and with emphases in biophysical and materials chemistry. Undergraduate participation in research is actively encouraged. We also participate in a five-year BS/MS program in materials chemistry and we jointly sponsor the biochemistry degree program with the Department of Biological Sciences.
We offer both MSc and PhD research programs as well as MA and MAT degrees. In addition to the traditional areas of analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry, we have faculty in a number of fertile cross-disciplinary areas, such as bioanalytical, bioinorganic, bioorganic and biophysical chemistry; electrochemistry; environmental chemistry and materials chemistry.

Highlighted Publication
Vetticatt Group
The honor thesis research of an undergraduate student Vladislav Roytman is the subject of a recent publication in Chem. Eur. J. from the Vetticatt group at Binghamton University. This paper details the use of 13C kinetic isotope effects and DFT calculations as a novel probe to distinguish between of enol and enamine mechanisms in aminocatalysis.
