About the Department
Our faculty are dedicated teachers and engaged mentors whose research spans the chemistry enterprise, many of whom are leaders in their respective fields of study.
As the largest chemistry department in CUNY with one of the greatest percentages of women faculty in a PhD-granting chemistry department in the country, we are proud of the diversity of our faculty and students, who bring with them the richness of a wide range of backgrounds.
Our department provides training for students planning careers in the chemical sciences, biology, medicine, earth sciences, secondary education, business, and law, whether in academia, industry, government, or private practice.
