You will be surprised to learn that we have better equipment and labs than many schools our size. The chemistry and biology programs at Governors State University will prepare you to be competitive in the professional job market.
Together
with a 22 million dollar laboratory wing renovation, Governors State University
provides students with a diverse array of modern instrumentation and equipment
in molecular biology, chemistry and biochemistry.
