Studying Chemistry at Kenyon

At Kenyon, students learn chemistry by doing chemistry. This grounding in student-faculty collaborative research is the centerpiece of the curriculum. Close working relationships begin during the first year and extend from coursework into independent research projects that often take place over multiple years. Through the Summer Science Scholars program, students work with faculty through the summer on intensive laboratory research projects, culminating in presentations and papers published in scientific journals.
