Undergraduate Studies

The B.A. or B.S. degree in chemistry prepares students for further studies in chemistry, biochemistry, or health-related disciplines, and also provides broad scientific training beneficial for energy research, policy, environment, business management, and law.

Post-Bac Program

Yale Chemistry offers opportunities for recent college graduates from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds to gain research and clinical experience at Yale through its ESI PREP Program.

Graduate Program

The Ph.D. degree is designed to prepare students for a career in scientific research with the tools they need to succeed: detailed knowledge, ability to apply that knowledge, independent thought, communication skills, teamwork, teaching, and safety.

Postdoctoral Studies

The Department of Chemistry's diverse research programs welcome postdoctoral scholars from around the world.
