Members of the Furman ACS chapter volunteer through many community outreach programs, including the Howard Hughes Mentoring program, and Western Carolina ACS sponsored programs in local schools. We also provide a free chemistry tutoring program on campus called Catalyst. We usually try to host several social events for the department throughout the year.

An independent research project and senior thesis are required for all chemistry majors at Furman seeking to fulfill the degree requirements. It is an integral part of our curriculum and our department strongly emphasizes the importance of undergraduate research. Many students choose to research during one of their summers at Furman.
