The Department of Chemistry was established in 1977 as a branch of the College of Education at King Saud University in Abha. In 1998, the two university branches in the Asir region, namely, the Imam Muhammad bin Saud Islamic University branch and King Saud University branch, were merged into one university called King Khalid University. Consequently, the College of Education at King Khalid University was renamed as the College of Science where Department of Chemistry was kept as one of its departments.
The Department of Chemistry awards a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry, a Master of Science degree in Chemistry, and a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Chemistry to male and female students. The department obtained academic accreditation for its bachelor’s and master’s programs in 2024 from the National Center for Academic Accreditation and Evaluation (NCAA).
