This is a message to you, the student considering The University of Toledo as the place to develop your career and education in chemistry at the undergraduate or graduate level. You will find in our offerings a program suited to your goals, whether your ambition is to obtain the B.A., B.S., M.S. or the Ph.D. degree, whether your professional objective is to enter a teaching, research, or other position related to chemistry, or to obtain the prerequisites for another professional degree.
This site will show you a department in which exciting events are occurring. You will find a dedicated group of teachers and scientists whose collected interests range over all the modern and classical areas of chemistry; from highly applied to highly theoretical studies with particular emphases in materials science and biological chemistry; from molecules so unstable they can be studied only at temperatures near absolute zero to molecules so stable they can be studied only at high temperatures; from compounds of the light elements boron, carbon, nitrogen, etc., to compounds of the rare earths and actinides; from natural products to complex syntheses; from the fastest reactions to those so slow that they are important in geological processes. Whether your primary interests are in analytical, bioorganic, inorganic, organic, or physical chemistry, biochemistry, materials science, or any of their subdivisions, you will find commonality with one or more of our faculty members and their research groups.

You will find that our department offers a full complement of the finest contemporary chemical instrumentation for both teaching and research purposes. This enables faculty and students to share in understanding the use of these modern methods and in the excitement accompanying the revelation of new chemical discoveries which these instruments make possible. In particular, Toledo is the home of the Ohio Crystallography Consortium, a world class facility for the characterization of materials with X-ray diffraction.
Additional support for student and faculty research is provided by our expert staff in the areas of glassblowing, machining, instrument supervision, and electronics.
If you have the qualifications, you may participate in an exciting, gratifying, and rewarding program of learning and research here at The University of Toledo. I invite you to give this possibility your fullest consideration and to contact us for further information on our undergraduate and graduate programs, and on the availability of financial support.
