Chemistry is everywhere. It explains how things work. Everything from why leaves change color, to how to perfect food recipes, can be boiled down to matter and energy and the interaction between them. Here at URI we offer a foundation in all areas of chemistry with an emphasis on hands-on lab experience, preparing you for specialized research in academics or industry.
Here you’ll be able to study in a state-of-the-art facility that houses teaching labs, organic chemistry labs, and more, all designed with the latest multimedia capabilities and advanced safety equipment. And because experiential learning is at the heart of our programs, we have 10 active research groups you can join to explore a variety of complex, pressing issues—from medical problems to improving batteries to explosives detection.
