STUDENT RESEARCH

    Hamilton College values and supports undergraduate research projects which are collaborations between student and faculty. We work with students on research projects as soon as they are ready, often during the summer after their first year at Hamilton College. In recent summers approximately 25-30 students have worked collaboratively with the Chemistry faculty. The extensive research activity in the department is funded by the College and by external grants. Current and past external funding has come from the American Chemical Society/Petroleum Research Foundation, the Research Corporation, the Clare Boothe Luce Foundation, the Dreyfus Foundation and the National Science Foundation. This extensive research activity of our undergraduates is one of the reasons that our students receive national awards such as Goldwater Scholarships and Fulbright Fellowships.  To fulfill the College's Senior Program requirement, all seniors are required to undertake a one-semester research project under the direction of a faculty member. Most of our concentrators do a two semester Senior Project, and most of them have had research experience prior to their senior year.  A list of recent Senior Project titles can be found at this link.
