Mass Spectrometry (MS) is a powerful method used in life sciences that has many applications in various projects. Although very powerful, MS is still not taught in undergraduate settings. Within roughly 3,000 colleges within the USA, MS is taught only in about 300-400 colleges. Clarkson University is one of them. Here we discuss MS and its applications at Clarkson University, with a focus on the Biochemistry I lecture, Biochemistry and Biotechnology laboratory and on Protein Chemistry and Proteomics lecture-laboratory hybrid. Specific examples of the use of MS in academia (basic research), pharmaceutical or biotechnology industry, and in internships in various settings is also discussed.
