The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at The University of Texas at Austin is currently ranked ninth among the best chemistry programs in the country according to US News & World Report. The generous support of individual and corporate donors has played a significant role in helping us achieve this stature and accomplish our mission of excellence in education and research. Our students receive a top tier education to prepare them for future employment and leadership in all areas of the chemical sciences. The research conducted in our department has an impact throughout Texas, the nation, and the world. In concert with President Powers' vision for the University of Texas to become "the great public university in America," we seek to establish this department as one of the top five in the country. Continuing support from alumni and friends will be critical to our success as we advance toward this goal.
