Chemistry
Chemistry was one of the early departments outside of the Scripps Institution authorized in the development of the University at San Diego. It was officially established in the spring of 1961, under the chairmanship of Professor James Arnold, and operated in George Scripps Hall and Sverdrup Hall on the Scripps campus. Joseph E. Mayer succeeded Professor Arnold as chairman in 1963.

In March, 1964, the department began its move to the upper campus. Before the official inception of the department, several of its present faculty had accepted appointments at La Jolla.

At the time of the initial organization only the Ph.D. degree was offered; the first was awarded in 1963. In 1965, authority to grant the M.S. degree was requested and granted. In the fall of 1961, 11 students entered. The enrollment in autumn 1962 was 14; in 1963 it was 26; and in 1964, it was 38. Three students completed their doctoral requirements in 1965, and one student received the master's degree.

Partially due to the small size of the department, the emphasis on lectures as a means of instruction was small. As of 1965, relatively few graduate courses were given, and a close student-faculty relationship was attained.

The undergraduate curriculum of Revelle College included physical science in the first and second year, but the instruction in chemistry took place only in the sophomore year, so that no undergraduate courses had been given by 1965. However, considerable effort went into the planning of the future undergraduate curriculum. source
