Abstract: This article is a commemorative paper to mark the 40th anniversary of the founding of University Chemistry. This paper briefly reviews the development of the Applied Chemistry major in China first. And then, through the papers published in University Chemistry during 1990-1999, it sorts out the research progress on the professional attributes, talent cultivation goals, employment orientation, cultivation norms, construction ideas and quality construction of the Applied Chemistry major at that time. Based on the papers published mainly in University Chemistry since 2010, especially since 2017, some new understanding of the attributes, training objectives, and employment orientation of the Applied Chemistry major are clarified, as well as the new progress in the norms and ideas of professional construction. The key points of the current construction of the Applied Chemistry major are also defined. It was clear that University Chemistry has played a leading and booster role during the entire development history of the Applied Chemistry major.

Key words: Applied Chemistry major, Brief history, Research progress, Key tasks
