Chemistry

The chemistry graduate program offers both MS and PhD degrees. Both are research-based degree programs requiring a thesis or dissertation.

MS

Degree concentrations are offered in analytical, inorganic, organic, physical chemistry, and chemistry education. MS degree candidates must complete 24 hours of coursework and six hours of research culminating in a satisfactory thesis.

PhD

Degree concentrations are offered in analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry, and chemistry education. PhD candidates must complete a core of four recommended courses in the traditional areas of chemistry, with additional elective courses as required to supplement the student's research program. Admission to candidacy for the PhD degree requires completion of written cumulative exams and an oral comprehensive examination.
