Facilities for Graduate Work
The Mallet Chemistry Library is the largest academic chemistry library in the country. In addition to extensive print-based collections in all areas of chemistry and chemical engineering, the library provides access to major database resources such as SciFinder (Chemical Abstracts), Reaxys, Web of Science, Science of Synthesis, and Design Institute for Physical Properties, as well as hundreds of electronic scholarly journals and thousands of e-books. These resources are available through the University Libraries Web site, http://www.lib.utexas.edu/ .
The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry maintains suitably equipped and well-staffed shops for glassblowing, machine work, and electronics maintenance and design. There are service laboratories equipped for organic analysis and for work in spectrophotometry; spectropolarimetry; photoelectron, nuclear magnetic, and electron spin resonance; X-ray diffraction; and mass spectrometry. Other specialized equipment is available in various laboratories. The facilities of Information Technology Services are used in numerous research programs.
Areas of Study
Graduate study in chemistry is offered in the areas of biochemistry, chemical physics, and analytical, inorganic, organic, or physical chemistry. Each of these broad areas encompasses specialized aspects of the subject. Details are available from the chair of the department’s Graduate Admissions Committee. The separate graduate program in biochemistry is described in the biochemistry section .
