For more than 150 years Wesleyan University has been identified with the
highest aspirations and achievements of private liberal arts higher
education. Wesleyan's commitment to the sciences dates from the founding of
the University, when natural sciences and modern languages were placed on an
equal footing with traditional classical studies. In order to maintain and
strengthen this commitment, graduate programs leading to the Ph.D. degree in
the sciences were established in the late 1960's. The program in chemistry
was designed to be small, distinctive, and personal, emphasizing research,
acquisition of a broad knowledge of advanced chemistry and creative
thinking.
