Overview

The Chemistry program offered by The University of Iowa trains the next generation of scholars to lead in chemistry research and teaching. Iowa is a top-ranked research university and the faculty members in our department are recognized as world-class researchers, effective teachers, and engaged citizens.

While faculty members are listed on our website as part of traditional areas of chemistry, including analytical, inorganic, organic, and physical, our research pursuits span a wide range of topics including atmospheric aerosols and nanoparticles, inorganic and organic synthesis, material and polymer science, drug discovery, environmental transport of contaminants, chemical education, and biological and enzymatic processes.

Key Facts

One of their primary goals is to train students to become independent scientists, so our students actively engage in research with our faculty members their first year of graduate studies. We also offer a wide range of advanced coursework to provide the foundational knowledge that will enhance their efforts in the laboratory.

Graduate students are supported through research assistantships with individual faculty members, departmental teaching assistantships, and numerous awards and fellowship opportunities. We also have internship opportunities, teacher training sessions, graduate student institutes to guide outreach and engagement, and career development workshops to help decrease time to degree and improve job placement.
