Welcome

Welcome from the faculty, staff and students of the Department of Chemistry and  Physics at Arkansas State University. The Department is home to 22 faculty and a group of dedicated support staff, students and postdoctoral associates in all areas of chemistry and physics.  Many of our colleagues hold joint or associate appointments with the Departments of Biology, Engineering, Environmental Science, and/or the Arkansas Biosciences Institute.  Outstanding in-house instrumental facilities, such as the Laser Spectroscopy Laboratory, Allen Materials Science Laboratory, and the Water-Rock-Life Laboratory help to provide a stimulating research environment.  Our faculty and students also do research in the Arkansas Biosciences Institute, an 82,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art facility that provides much of the housing for our two PhD programs ((molecular bioscience and environmental science). 

Whether you are a prospective student, alumnus, or just a friend, please take a few minutes to explore our web site, where you will find information on our research, educational program, and instrumental support and external service facilities. Above all, feel free to contact us if there is anything with which you need help.
