Research Seminar in Chemistry

Catalog description

The research seminar provides students with an overview of the diverse, multidisciplinary research areas that have captured the interest and fascination of chemists and others in related fields at NYU Abu Dhabi. Through exposure to faculty research, students identify potential areas of interest for their own capstone research, and over the course of the semester develop and put into writing an in-depth research proposal that will form the core of their capstone project. The final capstone project proposal is due at the end of the seminar so that students can begin the Capstone Project in Chemistry in the fall semester of their senior year. Students who have chosen chemistry as their secondary major do not need to complete the research seminar course; students must instead take two courses in their chosen elective that are not research courses.
