We are part of the Department of Chemistry, one of the largest departments on the Clemson campus. We offer a wide range of undergraduate and graduate studies to prepare future chemists for successful careers in exciting fields that include traditional chemical industries such as pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, and analytical research and services, as well as related fields including engineering, health care, education, forensics and national security. which provides over 50,000 square feet of laboratory space for research and teaching. Our department has 24 T/TT faculty members and we have the largest Ph.D. program at Clemson (~120 students).
