Overview

About the program

The Chemistry program offers a unique research first experience. This allows our students to step into a research group from the moment they arrive on campus. The research first approach gives our students a head-start on their research projects, and it's consistently listed as one of the most beneficial aspects of our graduate program.

Students are also able to participate in interdisciplinary studies through the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Center for Materials and Nanoscience, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Center for Biotechnology, the University of Nebraska Center for Environmental Toxicology, and the University of Nebraska Cancer Center. The latter two programs run jointly between the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
