| The Chemistry Department at UNC-Chapel Hill | |
The Department of Chemistry was established in 1818, and the first Ph.D. degree was awarded in 1883; see excerpts from our Department History, by Professor Maurice Bursey. Since then, UNC has awarded more than 1200 Ph.D. degrees, and close to 500 master's degrees. |
|
| Our distinguished faculty of 44 includes five members of the National Academy of Sciences, a past president of the American Chemical Society, a Priestly Medal recipient, and numerous recent recipients of other national and international awards in diverse areas including inorganic chemistry, electrochemistry, analytical chemistry, instrumentation, organometallic chemistry, organic chemistry, polymer chemistry, physical chemistry, theoretical chemistry and chemical education. | |
| We have outstanding research programs underway in all areas of modern Chemistry. Chemistry also is a focal point for interdisciplinary research efforts on campus in biological and materials sciences. Currently, our faculty includes 40 tenured and tenure-track faculty and 4 teaching faculty. We also have a large technical and administrative support staff to support the research and teaching of 400 undergraduate majors, 220 graduate students, and 65 postdoctoral research associates. |
|
| Graduate students contribute to nearly every aspect of the department's operation. In addition to taking a wide variety of courses, our students have the opportunity to participate in groundbreaking research, to teach, to attend research group meetings, to attend seminars, and to serve on committees that affect all aspects of life in the department. The Association of Chemistry Graduate Students (ACGS) sponsors both professional and social events and represents graduate students in departmental matters. | |
