Welcome to the Department of Chemistry
Welcome to the Department of Chemistry at the University of Pittsburgh! Whether you are a current or prospective student, an alum, or a friend of the department, I am delighted you are here. I invite you to explore our website to learn more about our department, our undergraduate and graduate programs, the cutting-edge research of our faculty, and our history. I hope you find a community that is as welcoming as it is committed to excellence.
At the heart of our mission is the education and professional preparation of our students. We encourage our students to be inquisitive and to explore their creativity, both in the classroom and in the laboratory, where they are mentored by faculty advancing the frontiers of chemistry. Those who take chemistry courses or pursue a degree with us are promised a rigorous education that builds skills in analysis, creative problem solving, and critical thinking. These skills provide a gateway to graduate and professional schools and to careers spanning industry, policy, business, law, medicine, and beyond. Please visit often, stay in touch, and reach out if we can help in any way.
