The Department of Chemistry at KU provides excellent and diverse opportunities for students and faculty interested in cutting-edge education and research. Diversity in our research and a strong culture of collegial interaction among the faculty, staff and students has always set us apart.  We also put a strong premium on interdisciplinary research and the vast majority of our faculty have research collaborations that involve other departments at KU, around the country and abroad.  Our committment to innovative teaching and multidisciplinary research is showcased in our newest building - the Integrated Science Building - which opened May 2018.
