The Department of Chemistry at Johns Hopkins University is made up of internationally recognized faculty involved in all areas of contemporary chemical science, including many interdisciplinary areas that combine chemistry with biology, medicine, physics, and materials.
Chemistry faculty train students interested in pursuing Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral degrees in the classroom and in the laboratory.
Undergraduate research is strongly encouraged for chemistry majors. Most students graduate with several semesters of experience with a research group.
Graduate students make up the heart of the chemistry department, and the department strives to support students’ individual needs. Each student is carefully advised and classes are traditionally quite small.
