WELCOME  

The Department of Chemistry at the University of South Alabama is an exciting place to study and explore the world of chemistry. The Department offers quality instruction from an outstanding faculty for those interested in finding out "what chemistry is all about" to those interested in pursuing a career in chemistry through the pursuit of a Baccalaureate degree in Chemistry (American Chemical Society Approved Program).

Dr. Andrzej Wierzbicki

Covering the areas of inorganic, organic, analytical physical chemistry to the world of biological chemistry, students are prepared so that they are ready to enter graduate school, industry, or the world of biomedical research. The Department has closes ties with the College of Medicine and Marine Science programs. The Department takes great pride in the close student-faculty relationships that develop during these undergraduate days at the University. All chemistry students get an opportunity to participate in undergraduate research with the faculty. Many of the students also have gone on to present their research work at National research meetings.

For the past several years, our Department of Chemistry has been directly involved in delivering chemistry laboratory experiences to the high schools of Mobile County (largest school district in Alabama). Many high schools do not have laboratory facilities or the necessary equipment needed to do hands-on

chemistry. This direct involvement with the public schools (Science in Motion Project) is very active and provides the local community with the necessary expertise and equipment for increasing awareness of the field of chemistry and its role in society. The Department is proud to play a role in this educational enhancement for high school students and teachers.

I invite you to consider the study of chemistry as a viable option for your future. It continues to present many exciting opportunities within industry and academics. I hope you will take the time to visit our web site, and if possible visit our campus and Department.

Andrzej Wierzbicki

Professor and Chair, Department of Chemistry
