What UMSL has to offer

The department has a research-active faculty who publish in internationally recognized journals and who receive significant research funding from federal agencies and other sources. Students are assigned their own individual faculty adviser to meet with every semester to help guide their academic program.

The UMSL Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry offers chemistry classes both day and night in order to accommodate working students and even makes it possible to complete your entire degree in the evening. Class sizes are small enough to allow each student significant personal attention and interaction with our incredible faculty.

St. Louis is an active center of the chemical and life science industries, and the placement of UMSL graduates in local industry has been excellent.
