We teach undergraduates at Yale College and train Ph.D.s and postdoctoral fellows in chemistry, who go on to leadership positions in academic and industry professions.
Our world-renowned researchers prepare students for professional careers in various fields, with knowledge of the scientific method, skills in quantitative reasoning, and exposure to scientific research. For example, chemistry majors often pursue graduate study or work in chemistry, biochemistry, or health-related disciplines, but also find their broad scientific training beneficial in energy research, policy, environment, business management, and law. Chemistry Ph.D.s and postdoctoral fellows practice careers in academia and industries that range from biomedical and pharmaceutical to cosmetic, forensic, law, environment, food, and agriculture.
