Field Trips

Field trips are a great way to introduce students to the variety of ways chemistry is applied in the real world.  In the general chemistry program, at PSU, students visit world-renowned Hubbard Brook Research Station in Thornton, NH within the White Mountain National Forest, a few miles north of PSU.  Students later analyze their collected water samples in the laboratory.

Students tour Freudenberg-NOK, an international corporation about twenty minutes from PSU, to gain an understanding of some applications of chemistry in industry.
