• The Department of Chemistry offers graduate programs leading to the Master of Science (M.S.) and the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.).
  • The M.S. and Ph.D. programs require a combination of lecture courses and original experimental or theoretical research.
  • The M.S. degree is not a prerequisite for the Ph.D. While seeking these degrees, students are guided by their research adviser and by their research committee.
  • The goals of student-faculty interaction are the development of experimental and theoretical skills and the ability to make original creative contributions to the advancement of chemistry.
