The Chemistry Study Program is one of the study programs under the Department of Chemistry Education at the FMIPA Yogyakarta State University. The Department of Chemistry Education was initially a B-1 Chemistry course which was opened on October 22, 1956. In 1961, the B-1 chemistry course was changed to the Department of Chemistry FKIP / B Gadjah Mada University. With the establishment of Yogyakarta State Teachers 'Training College on May 21, 1964, the Department of Chemistry FKIP / B UGM joined the Teachers' Training College of Yogyakarta under the Faculty of Teacher Training of Exact Sciences (FKIE) under the name of the Department of Chemistry. Since 1980, FKIE has changed to FPMIPA (Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences), and the Department of Chemistry has changed to the Department of Chemistry Education (Jurdik Chemistry) which manages Bachelor and D3 Chemistry Education Study Programs. In 1997, Jurdik Kimia was given an expanded mandate to open a S1 Chemistry Study Program. With the change of status of Yogyakarta State Teachers' Training College to Yogyakarta State University (UNY) in 1999, FPMIPA became FMIPA, and Jurdik Chemistry managed the S1 Chemistry Education Study Program and the S1 Chemistry Study Program. Thus, for more than 50 years, this study program has a role in improving the quality of chemical education in Indonesia.
