Hofstra University's Chemistry department provides a nurturing environment where students can explore and discover science through coursework and research. Faculty advise students throughout the four-year sequence. Our facilities are designed to promote hands-on learning and close interaction between faculty and students, and the majority of our classes have between 10 and 40 students. Some of our technologies and instrumentation include gas chromatographs equipped with flame-ionization and thermal-conductivity detectors, a 400 MHz NMR spectrometer, a Wyatt Laser Light Scattering Photometer and Fourier-transform infrared spectrophotometers.
