Merging chemistry, physics, mathematics and computer science, the chemistry program at UT Dallas is designed to instruct the student in how chemical experiments are performed, how results are interpreted, and, through its integrated laboratory sequence, to emphasize the importance of interdisciplinary problem-solving.

The Chemistry major builds on a base of chemistry, physics, mathematics, and computer science to provide the student the opportunity to develop essential theoretical and practical skills in the subdisciplines of organic, physical, inorganic, analytical, and macromolecular chemistry. Typically, the practice of chemistry in industry deals with the synthesis, analysis, and control of the many materials used in our technological society.
