Qualified students are encouraged to participate as early as the sophomore year in the research conducted by department faculty in such areas as theoretical and experimental physical chemistry, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, chemical biology, biooganic and biophysical chemistry. During the academic year, students can pursue research (for credit) in the department as well as at the NYU School of Medicine, and other institutions. Particularly well-qualified students compete successfully for prestigious external fellowships from the Goldwater and Beckman Foundations, Pfizer Corporation, as well as the Dean's Undergraduate Research Fund (DURF) to support their research work in the department. Qualified students who complete a significant body of research work and write a senior thesis graduate with departmental honors.
