Chemistry Learning Center—The CLC provides coaching services to all students enrolled in first year and organic and physical chemistry lecture courses. This initiative has a substantial impact on student success and retention. Coordinator Lois Blau advises the coaches, who are undergraduate students that have recently completed first year chemistry courses at Michigan Tech. The emphasis of the CLC is to cultivate mastery of chemistry concepts and confidence in learning skills.

Undergraduate research gives undergraduates the opportunity to develop their professional skills early in their career.

Graduate research—Each spring the Outstanding Graduate Student Award supports the recipient’s summer research.

What Alumni Say About Michigan Tech

"As far as my experience goes as an alumna of Michigan Tech, I feel my Chemistry degree helped me not only with the fundamentals of the discipline, but also taught me how to solve problems and become an active member of any team that I was put on due to the outstanding education I received at Tech. The skills I learned (laboratory, problem solving, analytical techniques, etc.) at Tech have helped me work in the professional world and become a better overall employee and contributor to Dow Corning." —Erin Zimmer, MTU Chemistry Alumna

What Employers Say About Majors and Alumni

“Renee and Kristen were both outstanding interns for Dow Corning this past summer. Tech prepared them to work in laboratory situations with fellow chemists and engineers and to solve complex technical issues for our customers. Both of them produced high-quality, time-driven results that will help Dow Corning achieve its goals and objectives as a corporation. Michigan Tech is highly regarded at Dow Corning and having them join our company as summer interns was a win-win for everyone!” —Erin Zimmer, Alumna and Economic Evaluator for Dow Corning
