The DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY and CHEMICAL BIOLOGY at the University of New Mexico
has both undergraduate
and graduate degree programs.
An undergraduate B.A. or B.S. degree in chemistry provides
a range of career choices from medicine to quantum theory.
Undergraduate research opportunities exist in all fields and
the Department encourages chemistry majors to pursue independent
research with a faculty mentor. The graduate program offers
the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in analytical,
biological, biophysical, inorganic,
