Introduction: 本系創立於民國47年，為全國各大學中歷史最悠久的化學系之一。多年來苦心經營，本系無論在師資、設備、儀器、圖書方面，均有長足的進步。民國60年8月經教育部核准正式成立研究所。民國65年初，鑑於大學部及碩士班已具規模，為培養高階研究人才，籌設博士班。經教育部嚴格審核後，獲准成立，為國內繼台大、清大後第3個博士班。本系成立係以培養高級化學人才，為學術界及工業界儲備化學人才為目標，教學亦朝完成此目標來設計。自98學年生命科學研究所併入化學系碩士班之生命科學組，碩士班目前有化學組及生命科學組二組。

The Department of Chemistry was established in 1958. The MS and Ph.D. programs in chemistry were established in 1971 and 1976, respectively. The goal of both programs is to provide each graduate with the intellectual background, laboratory skills, and research experience necessary to ensure success in his or her future scientific endeavors. Hence, faculty members are engaged in research projects, encompassing all of the major disciplines of chemistry with special emphasis on material chemistry and biochemistry. Meanwhile, students are encouraged to participate in any of the many research programs. Therefore, many graduates hold competitive positions at universities, private industry, and government laboratories across the nation and around the world.
