The UC Berkeley College of Chemistry is one of 14 schools and colleges at the University of California, Berkeley. It houses the departments of Chemistry and Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and occupies six buildings flanking a central plaza.〔(UC Berkeley, Department of Chemistry )〕〔(UC Berkeley, Dept of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering )〕 US News and World Report has ranked its chemistry and chemical engineering programs first and second in the U.S., respectively, while the 2014 QS World University Rankings has ranked both its chemistry and chemical engineering programs second best in the world.〔(QS World University Rankings by Subject 2014 - Engineering - Chemical | Top Universities )〕 Its faculty and graduates have won numerous awards, including the Wolf Prize, the National Medal of Science, the National Medal of Technology, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, as well as thirteen Nobel Prizes.〔 -13, it has 815 undergraduates, 526 graduate students, and 187 postdoctoral fellows.〔 The Department of Chemistry is one of the largest and most productive in the world, graduating about 80 doctoral students per year〔 while maintaining the world's highest citation-per-faculty score. It hosts 6 of the top 100 chemists worldwide by citation impact for 2000–2010, tied with MIT for the most of any institution.〔(Top 100 Chemists, 2000-2010 - ScienceWatch.com - Thomson Reuters )〕 Scientists affiliated with the department and the nearby Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory are responsible for the discovery of sixteen elements, including berkelium, named after the city, and seaborgium, named after Nobel laureate and former department chair Glenn Seaborg.〔(Chemical Elements Discovered at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory )〕 First established in 1872, the college awarded its first Ph.D. in 1885 to John Stillman, who later founded the chemistry department at Stanford University. A Division of Chemical Engineering was established in 1946, becoming a department in 1957. The Department of Chemical Engineering changed its name to Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering in 2010 to reflect the research focus of its faculty in the 21st century.〔(UC Berkeley, Dept of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering - Graduate Program Info - Note from Chair )〕 ==Students== The College offers three undergraduate degrees: chemical engineering, chemistry, and chemical biology.〔 Chemistry undergrads in the College of Chemistry also have the option to earn a B.A. in chemistry from the College of Letters and Science. Two double major programs with the College of Engineering exist: chemical engineering and materials science and engineering, and chemical engineering and nuclear engineering. Popular undergraduate courses such as Chem 1A (general chemistry) and Chem 3A (organic chemistry) are taught by College of Chemistry faculty. Graduate programs include the M.S. and Ph.D. in chemical engineering and Ph.D. in chemistry.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「UC Berkeley College of Chemistry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
