Overview

The Chemistry at the University of Kentucky program is designed that students take coursework to develop a core expertise while taking special topics in areas of interest.

Program highlights

The collaborative research groups provide students with opportunities to have diverse experiences, both in their primary advisor's research laboratories but also in others at UK and at our partner institutions. Further training outside of research includes programs in preparing students for faculty positions as well as exposure and training in entrepreneurial ventures.

Several groups have received patents for inventions developed at UK, many of which have been licensed by outside companies and others of which have been the basis for start-up companies formed at UK. Last but not least, the welcoming atmosphere in our department provides students with an environment not only for teaching, learning, and research, but also to develop lifelong friendships.
