Learn how to describe, visualize, interact with, and appreciate the molecular world from leading professors in the field and conduct extensive laboratory research projects.

Program Highlights

• Obtain hands-on experience with laboratory tools, software, and procedures used by practicing industry professionals.
• Develop mathematical skills and problem-solving abilities.
• Participate in field trips and laboratory experiments as you learn how to synthesize, bond, and create from the building blocks of God's design.
• Learn and work alongside award-winning professors who are committed to your success.
• Prepare for future careers and graduate study through an experiential, research-filled program.
• Immerse yourself in the molecular as you learn to describe, visualize, and interact with it.
• Cultivate a fuller appreciation of how subatomic particles reveal the fingerprints of our Creator.
