Chemistry and Biochemistry

Graduation Portfolio

As a fittingly rigorous project meant to showcase four years worth of work, all BYU Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry undergraduates submit a student portfolio before graduating.

While students' classes and the Department Chair's secretary will remind students, it is ultimately the responsibility of the students to turn in their portfolio before graduation.

After completing the elements listed below, email them to coffice@chem.byu.edu.
