History
The Department of Chemistry began when the University of Alberta was founded, led by Dr. A. L. F. Lehman. The Department of Chemistry has evolved since the 1950s from principally a teaching role into a research and teaching unit. The department offers BSc, honours, and specialized undergraduate degrees in chemistry, as well as an undergraduate degree in physical science that combines courses from chemistry and physics. On the graduate level, the department offers MSc, PhD, chemical biology, and chemical physics programs. The department has also partnered with the Technische Universität München in Germany to offer the Alberta/Technical University of Munich International Graduate School for Hybrid Functional Materials (ATUMS). In addition to undergraduate and graduate instruction, the Department has conducted research in fields including natural resources, biochemistry, analytical chemistry, and physical chemistry.
