Undergraduate Chemistry Laboratories at Carnegie Mellon
Carnegie Mellon University’s Department of Chemistry is home to two laboratories where undergraduates learn, experiment, discover and innovate using the same tools found in modern research and industry settings.
For prospective students eager to dive into hands‑on science, 7-12 grade teachers seeking meaningful STEM experiences for your students, or someone looking to support the next generation of chemists, the analytical and synthetic chemistry labs in Doherty Hall offer unmatched opportunities.
Teaching Laboratories for Foundational Courses
Courses such as Introduction to Experimental Chemistry (CMY 09‑101) train students in essential laboratory skills in:
- Quantitative analysis instrumentation
- Chromatography tools
- Kinetics and thermochemistry
- Acid–base and transition metal chemistry
Support the Future of Chemistry at CMU
We are always looking to enhance our ability to support students. Donors play a transformative role in expanding students’ access to high‑quality instrumentation, modern lab spaces, and cutting‑edge chemical technology.
Your support can:
- Fund new teaching lab equipment
- Provide supplies for experimental courses
- Modernize instrumentation for undergraduate research
- Enable stronger outreach programs for regional schools
- Support facility upgrades and innovation‑driven expansions
