Wake Forest
University is one of the premier liberal arts institutions in
the South. The University has a long-standing commitment to academic
excellence, and this is reflected in the dedication of the chemistry
faculty to excellence in both teaching and research. As part of
the University’s commitment to academic excellence, it has built
a strong chemistry graduate program that maintains those features
which make Wake Forest University unique, namely limited class
sizes and close interaction between faculty and students.
Wake
Forest University has a rich tradition going back to its founding
as a college in 1834. At the present time, its enrollment consists
of about 3,700 undergraduates and 1,800 graduate and professional
(law, medicine, and business) students. The main campus is a wooded
300-acre site on the northwest edge of Winston-Salem surrounded
by numerous scenic walking and jogging paths, grassy picnic areas,
and a beautiful public garden. An important part of the Wake Forest
tradition is its continuing emphasis upon academic excellence.
