Laser Facility
Study STEM subjects at Concordia and have access to state-of-the-art laser spectroscopy equipment.
Gain Exclusive Experience
The Concordia College Laser Facility (CCLF) was officially established in 2004 as a result of an NSF CAREER grant rarely awarded to undergraduate four-year institutions and a Henry Dreyfus teacher/scholar award obtained by Dr. Darin Ulness, professor of chemistry.
It is available for both research and coursework by Concordia's undergraduate students as well as talented high school students from around the community.
