Overview

Here, your research will be enabled by robust external funding, world-class facilities, and an interdisciplinary and collegial environment where our students' creativity thrives.

Currently, students and faculty in our Ph.D. program are tackling problems ranging from the design of new medicines, to addressing current and future water and energy needs, to devising novel quantitative approaches to characterize matter at the molecular scale. These complex and challenging problems are being met by a talented, motivated, and diverse group of scientists.

Program goals

The goal of the Chemistry program at University of Utah is to prepare students for successful careers in industry, academia, and government at the Ph.D. level. This requires advanced fundamental knowledge in chemistry, the ability to conduct independent and collaborative research, to teach, to provide training and mentorship, to conceive and write research proposals and plans, and to communicate research results in oral and written form.

The goal of the program is achieved by obtaining experiences in laboratory and computational research, teaching, independent proposal development, and preparation of manuscripts and a dissertation for publication, as well as attending lecture courses and presenting seminars.
