Undergraduate Research
The undergraduate research program in the School provides students with an opportunity to exercise their own initiative and creativity in the laboratory while interacting closely with professors, research scientists and graduate students. Undergraduates often appear as co-authors on scholarly publications and present their research at scientific meetings. Students interested in research with faculty should consult faculty homepages to learn about research currently being conducted and contact faculty about opportunities for the coming semester(s). Research may be performed for course credit or pay (permit required). For students interested in graduate studies and/or a long-term career in research , chemistry and biochemistry students are encouraged to pursue the research option under BS in Chemistry or BS in Biochemistry.

Georgia Tech undergraduates are encouraged to apply for Presidential Undergraduate Research Award (PURA). This award provides student salaries and travel expenses for undergraduates to attend professional meetings to give presentations. Students should also provide a copy of the application to the Academic Programs Office in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry for consideration for the School Undergraduate Research Scholarship. The School and College both provide travel awards for undergraduates to support their presentation of research at regional and national meetings
For non-Georgia Tech students, the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry offers a 10-week summer undergraduate research program.
