Dear Visitors ...
Welcome to the home page for the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at the University of New Mexico. This is a department that is committed to excellence in all of its endeavors.
If you are interested in our research, you will find it to be leading edge work in both traditional and interdisciplinary areas of research. The traditional areas are represented by Analytical Chemistry (Cabaniss), Physical Chemistry (Evans, Grey, Guo, and Keller), Inorganic Chemistry (Kemp, Kirk, Paine, and Tierney), and Organic Chemistry (Deck, Dunaway-Mariano, Mariano, and Wang). Many of the research groups in the department also have a focus on either Biological Chemistry or Chemical Biology (Bear, Dunaway-Mariano, Guo, Keller, Kirk, Mariano, Tierney, and Wang) and Materials Chemistry (Evans, Grey, Kemp, Kirk, and Paine).
If you are interested in graduate study in the department, you will find links to information on the requirements for the M.S. and Ph.D. programs and how to apply for them. All students who are admitted to the Ph.D. program will be guaranteed full financial aid for five years so long as they remain in good standing in the program. If you are not successful in finding the information you need, please email Karen our undergraduate and graduate advisor, at kamc@unm.edu with your questions.
If you are interested in our undergraduate courses, majors, or minors, you will find links to those as well. The B.A. and B.S. majors and the minor have recently been extensively revised to provide a variety of ways to earn these degrees so that they are suitable for students with a variety of goals such as entering the study of pharmacy or medicine, entering the study of chemistry at the graduate level, or being qualified for a position in an industrial or service sector laboratory. If you are not successful in finding the information you need, please email Karen, our undergraduate and graduate advisor at kamc@unm.edu with your questions.
If you need information about other aspects of the department that you have been unable to find on this website, please email Faye, our Administrative Assistant at fwhit@unm.edu. She will forward your request to the appropriate member of the faculty or staff.
Thank you for your interest in the Department.
