Welcome to the Chemistry Department at UWSP. As a student in our department, you will study a discipline that is both stimulating and fascinating. We hope to pass along to you our curiosity and enthusiasm for chemistry. The faculty feel very strongly that interaction with undergraduates on a one to one basis is the best foundation for learning. We also emphasize hands-on learning in all aspects of our program.


We are committed to working with you to help you achieve your professional and personal goals.

The Chemistry Department occupies approximately 35,000 sq. ft. in the Science Building. It houses fully-equipped, modern teaching and research laboratories and up-to-date computing facilities.

The Chemistry Department supports the local chapter of the American Chemical Society - Student Afiiliate group. This student run organization helps to promote interest in chemistry and chemical education. Each year the group plans many activities where faculty and students mingle - such as the semester picnics, bake sales, lab goggle & coat sale, the Christmas party, trips, etc.
