Our program is large enough -- in terms of faculty, equipment, and research expenditures -- to support world class research in all areas of chemistry. And yet, at the same time, we are small enough to have a well-integrated department. Our researchers work collaboratively within research groups, across research groups, and even across departments to identify and solve diverse scientific challenges. The broad-based strength of the department combined with the dynamic, creative environment makes chemistry research at UB exciting -- because it is interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and collaborative.

Prerequisites and admission procedures for the MS in Medicinal Chemistry program are identical to those required for admission to the MA in Chemistry program. Although a BS in chemistry is an optimal prerequisite, students with bachelor’s degrees in pharmacy, pharmaceutical sciences, or biological sciences may qualify if their background in the chemical sciences is of sufficient scope and depth.
