The Chemistry graduate program offers comprehensive training in specialized fields, equipping students with essential skills for advancing their research and professional pursuits. With a strong research focus, the program incorporates seminar participation and chemical literature review as core components. While course loads remain manageable, students can select from diverse intermediate and advanced offerings across disciplines. Cross-disciplinary coursework in Biology, Computer Science, and Physics is encouraged to align with individual research goals. Temple University's College of Science and Technology prepares PhD candidates to conduct independent and team-based research, addressing challenging chemical issues while developing leadership in scientific discovery. Graduates pursue careers across multiple sectors including biochemistry, catalysis, materials science, forensic analysis, and synthetic chemistry. Aspiring academics can simultaneously work toward a Teaching in Higher Education Certificate.
Organic Chemistry specialization covers chemical synthesis techniques, reaction mechanisms, innovative synthetic methodologies (including silicon and hypervalent iodine applications), along with organometallic and radical chemistry studies.
