Lehigh’s Department of Chemistry offers a wide range of educational and research opportunities with close faculty mentorship at every level. Students pursue B.A., ACS-certified B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees while exploring specialized interests across analytical, biochemistry, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry. Seventy percent of undergraduates engage in hands-on research, and 25% of seniors participate in the selective College Scholars Program.
Graduate students benefit from small research groups, interdisciplinary collaborations, and full financial support. Whether preparing for careers in science, medicine, law, or industry, Lehigh Chemistry students gain the skills to solve real-world challenges and shape the future.
