The chemistry department offers both M.S. and Ph.D. degree programs with specializations in analytical, bio-, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry. Students can engage in cross-disciplinary research through collaborations with several university centers: the UNL Center for Materials and Nanoscience, UNL Center for Biotechnology, Nebraska Center for Environmental Toxicology, and Nebraska Cancer Center (the last two being joint initiatives between UNL and the University of Nebraska Medical Center). The graduate program emphasizes a Research First model, prioritizing hands-on investigation over extensive coursework during the initial year. First-year graduate students actively participate in research by choosing rotation groups while simultaneously completing select courses.
