What Sets Us Apart?

1. Our programs focus on the latest innovations in chemistry, especially in the areas of computational chemistry and drug design.

   ---

2. We’re one of the few chemistry departments in the country to offer a graduate degree in pharmacognosy.

   ---

3. We take your education personally. We’re small by design, so you’ll never feel like a number.

   ---

4. We offer an integrated BS/MS or BS/PhD degree program where you can obtain a graduate degree in less time than a traditional degree program.

   ---

5. We forge close interdepartmental relationships and cross-discipline collaboration. It’s common for a graduate student in medicinal chemistry to visit one of our toxicologists to discuss potential problems of a prospective drug candidate.

   ---

6. You’ll gain the advanced skills and level of knowledge that quickly translate into a rewarding career. In fact, all of our students have been employed either directly upon graduation or shortly thereafter.
