The Department of Chemistry at the University of Memphis consists of a vibrant faculty representing all major areas of chemistry. Our faculty conduct cutting edge research that is often interdisciplinary and collaborative. These projects are funded by local, regional, and national agencies including the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the Department of Defense, etc. Our research supports efforts to help train the next generation of scientists and science educators. If you are considering graduate school in chemistry, we would like to speak to you about becoming a graduate assistant in our department.
Program objectives are: (1) competence in a common core of material in the major area of specialization; (2) proficiency in a minor area of specialization outside of the major; (3) development of expertise in experimental design, data analysis, and oral and written presentation of research results; (4) competitive for professional positions in the chemical sciences. Before registering for the first time, incoming graduate students will take a series of six standardized examinations, chosen from general, analytical, biochemistry, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry. The examinations are at a level equivalent to completion of the following undergraduate courses at The University of Memphis: CHEM 4111 (inorganic), 4211 (analytical), 3310 and 3511 (organic), 4411 (physical), and 4512 (biochemistry).
