The Ph.D. in Chemistry is offered by the Department of Chemistry in the College of Arts and Sciences, which also grants master's degrees. Its graduate faculty are senior members who all hold doctorates, and a wide selection of courses lets students tailor their studies while keeping a firm grounding in every general branch of the subject.
The degree opens routes into varied careers, including pharmaceutical discovery, health science, quality control, energy and materials science, and department graduates have entered each of these areas. Research facilities are described as excellent and the ratio of students to faculty as very low, which gives doctoral students unusual access to advanced study. Major research areas and requirements appear on the catalog page.
Prospective students can find contacts, deadlines, delivery details and the full curriculum for the Ph.D. in the 2026-2027 Graduate Catalog, and should review them together with the university's general graduate admission policies before applying.
