The Chemistry graduate program equips students with a strong foundation in their selected specialization. It focuses on developing competencies that empower students to expand their expertise throughout their research and professional journeys. Consequently, the program prioritizes research, with seminar participation and chemical literature proficiency being essential components. While course loads remain relatively modest, students can choose from numerous intermediate and advanced courses across disciplines. The department encourages interdisciplinary coursework in fields like Biology, Computer Science, and Physics to align with individual research goals. Degree options include M.S. and Ph.D. programs in Analytical Chemistry, Biochemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Physical Chemistry, with specializations spanning environmental chemistry, materials science, medicinal chemistry, nanoscience, photonics, and surface science. The master's program provides two pathways: Thesis Track for part-time students (who are ineligible for departmental funding and require Graduate Committee approval) and Coursework Track for working professionals with substantial lab experience (also requiring Graduate Committee authorization).
