WelcomeThe Department of Chemistry at The University of Alabama offers degrees in chemistry at the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. levels. We are a growing program with 25 faculty and approximately 90 graduate students. Research and teaching are conducted in the major disciplines of chemistry: analytical, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistries and biochemistry. In addition, chemistry faculty actively participate in interdisciplinary scientific research programs involving synthesis, the chemistry of materials, biological chemistry, and environmental chemistry.
